  • Tourism in Southeast Asia
    and parnwell hitchcock, king Tourism is one of the major forces for economic, social and cultural change in the Southeast Asian region and, as a complex multidimensional phenomenon, has attracted increasing scholarly attention during the past TOURISM two decades from researchers from a broad range of disciplines – not least anthropology, sociology, economics, political science, history, development IN SOUTHEAST ASIA studies and business/management. It has also commanded the attention of challenges and new directions policy-makers, planners and development practitioners. However, what has been lacking for many years is a volume that analyses tourism from the major disciplinary perspectives, considers major substantive themes of particular significance in the region (cultural IN TOURISM tourism, ecotourism, romance/sex tourism, etc.), and pays attention to such important conceptual issues as the interaction between local and global, the role of the state in identity formation, authenticity, the creation of ‘tradition’, and sustainability. Such a thorough analysis is offered by Tourism in Southeast Asia, which provides an up-to-date exploration of the state of tourism development and associated issues in one of the world’s most dynamic tourism destinations. The volume takes a close look at many of the challenges facing Southeast Asian tourism at a critical stage of transition and transformation, and following a recent series of crises and disasters. Building on and advancing the path-breaking Tourism in South-East ASIA SOUTHEAST Asia, produced by the same editors in 1993, it adopts a multidisciplinary approach and includes contributions from some of the leading researchers on tourism in Southeast Asia, presenting a number of fresh perspectives.

They comprise some of the highest quality landscapes and wildlife habitats in the country and cover more than 9% of the total land area. The National Parks also make important contributions to our economy and society and are also part of our national identity. They are of huge importance to the people who live and work within them, as well as the many millions who visit for recreation and tourism. The Vision for English National Parks in 2030, produced by the Government and the English National Parks Authorities Association2, states that National Parks “will be recognised as fundamental to our prosperity and well-being”. The National Park Authorities are already responding to the priority for growth and many examples are presented in this report.

  • Constructive Conservation: Sustainable Growth for Historic Places
    Constructive Conservation On 1st April 2015 the Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission for England changed its common name from English Heritage to Historic England. We are now re-branding all our documents. Although this document refers to English Heritage, it is still the Commission's current advice and guidance and will in due course be re-branded as Historic England. Please see our website for up to date contact information, and further advice. We welcome feedback to help improve this document, which will be periodically revised. Please email comments to [email protected] We are the government's expert advisory service for England's historic environment. We give constructive advice to local authorities, owners and the public. We champion historic places helping people to understand, value and care for them, now and for the future.

Even so, change, adaptation or development will often be the key to securing their future. ‘Constructive conservation’ is the term used by English Heritage to describe the protection and adaptation of historic buildings and places through actively managing change.The approach is positive and collaborative, based upon a shared understanding of the qualities which make a place or building special.The aim of constructive conservation is to achieve a balance which ensures that those qualities are reinforced rather than diminished by change, whilst achieving a solution which is architecturally and commercially deliverable.
