Several of the chapters that comprise this collection were originally scheduled to be part of our edited volume, Tourism in Southeast Asia: Challenges and New Directions (NIAS and University of hawai‘i Press, 2009), but the manuscript ended up being unwieldy and the publishers asked us to prune it. It was a dilemma that had a happy outcome since the publishers agreed to consider a second volume based around the four chapters on heritage tourism in the original manuscript. These chapters were sufficiently interconnected and coherent that they could be lifted out to form the core of a second volume, to which new papers were added. The first volume could then be published with much less difficulty. In this regard we are endlessly grateful to those who agreed to accept a delay in the publication of their papers until we could assemble a companion volume and who permitted us, at relatively short notice, to transfer their work to the heritage tourism book. We have to bear in mind that we began the whole process of assembling and editing the long-awaited sequel to our Tourism in South-East Asia (1993) as long ago as 2005; the delay in publishing the four heritage papers has therefore been considerable. our sincere thanks must therefore go to gywnn Jenkins, Mark Johnson, Keiko Miura and Nick Stanley for being so cooperative in allowing us to address our dilemma and in helping us embark on what we believed to be the most constructive way forward. having said this, and in duly recognizing the obvious delay in publication, the heritage volume is not without a certain rationale and in the event, in our view, the enterprise has proved to have turned out very successfully indeed. vii Prelims_Heritage.indd 7 09/06/2010 14:32 Heritage Tourism in Southeast Asia Two of the co-editors (hitchcock and King) had already edited a special issue of the journal Indonesia and the Malay World (IMW) (2003a) on the theme of what we, and Ian glover, referred to then as ‘discourses with the past’, and it seemed to us that we could develop several of the issues which had already been raised and debated in that publication. We therefore had the basis for a much more extended and detailed consideration of the political, economic and socio-cultural contexts within which heritage and the tourism activities associated with it have been developing in the region. More especially what had become very clear to all three co-editors in preparing the first volume was that we needed to devote much more attention to the significance for Southeast Asian governments of UNeSCo World heritage Sites (WhS) and the conflicting pressures, interests and agendas which were being brought to bear on these sites, as well as on the ways in which heritage, whether recognized by UNeSCo or not, was becoming a very central element in the promotion of tourism in the region and in the construction and transformation of identities (national, ethnic and local). Three of the four papers which we transferred to the heritage volume focused on globally significant UNeSCo sites: Johnson on hue, Miura on Angkor and Jenkins on the recently designated historic centre of george Town on Pulau Pinang (which along with Melaka was designated as Malaysia’s third WhS in 2008). Incidentally gwynn Jenkins had also contributed a co-authored paper on george Town to our special journal issue of 2003. our earlier foray into heritage studies in Southeast Asia has also enabled us to develop a network of researchers, some of whom we could call on at short notice to provide chapters for our new volume. We therefore commissioned and edited several new papers for this second book in addition to writing an extended editorial introduction and an accompanying conclusion, a process which has taken us well over two years to complete. Two of the co-editors stepped in to write chapters afresh in Heritage Tourism: Mike Parnwell has contributed a chapter on natural heritage sites by comparing the WhS of ha Long Bay in northern vietnam with a similar but non- designated site, Phang Nga Bay, in southern Thailand, and Mike hitchcock along with fellow researchers Nguyen Thi Thu huong and Simone Wesner, who had worked with him on a field project in northern vietnam, have given an overview and analysis of some of their fieldwork findings on handicraft industries and tourism in hai Duong. Some colleagues who had contributed to our 2003 special issue also came forward with chapters for viii Prelims_Heritage.indd 8 09/06/2010 14:32 Preface and Acknowledgements this current book: Nigel Worden kindly agreed that we could include his previously published paper on the theme of heritage tourism in Melaka and Malay-Malaysian national identity (with some revisions and updating by victor King); Can-Seng ooi who has been working on the role and use of museums in the construction and reconstruction of Singaporean national identity stepped in at very short notice; and Kathleen Adams has provided us with a substantially revised and updated chapter, based on her 2003 publication, on the local political issues surrounding moves to secure UNeSCo World heritage listing for the Toraja hamlet of Ke´te´ Kesu´ and the wider Torajaland.

  • Ming Dynasty Porcelain Introducing the World’S Most Unique Ming Porcelain Discovery
    Investment Opportunity Document Captain Michael Hatcher Treasure Salvage Professional ming dynasty porcelain Introducing the world’s most unique ming porcelain discovery “This discovery consists of one of the largest amount of Ming porcelain that I have ever seen or has been discovered previously to date on record making this one of the richest wrecks ever found and definitely the biggest Ming cargo found.” - Capt Michael Hatcher ming dynasty porcelain Introducing the world’s most unique ming porcelain discovery a unique discovery A letter from Captain Michael Hatcher, June 2009. To our interested investors, Over the last eight months we have been searching in the Java Sea for a sunken wreck. Fisherman have been catching their nets on it for the last year or two and occasionally recovering Ming porcelain that were caught in the nets. We recently managed to get a GPS position on the wreck and went out on one of the fishing boats to personally dive and inspect the wreck and the cargo. This discovery consists of one of the largest amount of Ming porcelain that I have ever seen or has been discovered previously to date on record. The length of the wreck is approx 58 metres long by 28 metres wide and the porcelain is up to 8 metres high. In my estimation this find consists approximately of over a million pieces of porcelain. Along with my Indonesian partners we have officially secured the wreck with a 3 mile exclusive zone around it at present. The wreck is well guarded by my employees and Navy personnel and we currently have our survey vessel out finishing the survey.

  • The Conception of Historic Shipwrecks Ownership in Accordance with International Law
    Jurnal Hukum Internasional THE CONCEPTION OF HISTORIC SHIPWRECKS OWNERSHIP IN ACCORDANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL LAW Meike Rachmana* Abstract Technology development pushed forward an access to underwater cultural heritage . Diving tools development makes an access to deeper part of sea accessible . This access not only used by researcher and archeology but also by treasure hunter and historical shipwrecks treasure seekers . These events lead the interested party to explore the sea for valuable things . One of them is historic shipwrecks which contain historical, archaeological or economic value. The significance of this historic shipwrecks leads to an issue about ownership . The ownership claims of historical shipwrecks tis starting to become a global issue after the occurrence of jurisdiction clash among the Flag-state country, Finder, Coastal state, or state origin of the cargo . Therefore, it is important to understand the issue further by exploring the conception on regulation of historic shipwrecks at international level through international convention, at national level through its regulation and practice in several countries and also the regulation and practice in Indonesia . Keywords: historic shipwrecks, underwater cultural heritage, ownership, flag state, coastal state . I. INTRODUCTION International concern regarding cultural heritage especially under- water cultural heritage in the passing century begin to develop. It is estimated around 3 million shipwrecks lie under the water which con- tain of gold coins, vase and other valuable things in it.1 It is proven by the finding of The Mary Rose Shipwrecks, R.M.S. Titanic Shipwrecks, Belitung Shipwrecks or other historical sites such as Alexandria light- house and Cleopatra’s palace (Egypt), Ancient Carthage (Tunisia) and Jamaica’s Port Royal that was destroyed in 1962.2 * Author is a Junior Associate at Wiyono Partnership.

Since the year 2005, Malaysian government has discouraged constructing new purposely built museums in favour of refurbishing historic and old buildings to function as adaptive reused museums. Commonly due to insufficient ventilation, fully mechanically ventilated museums can pose critical indoor environmental issues that may lead to health hazards and risks among employees and visitors. Thus, the purpose of this study is to determine the potential risk factors within the museums based on indoor environmental criteria. This potential risk factors are resulted from the ‘Potential Risk Categories’, which have been developed by adopting the established Hazard Identification, Risks Assessment and Risk Control (HIRARC) Method. Based on the assessment of four main indoor environmental criteria in the Potential Risk Categories, it was discovered that 8 out of 24 museums are in the range of medium potential risk, while the rest of them are in the range of low potential risk.
