Although it is selective, it also represents the sense of identity and belonging of local people. Heritage tourism has grown in recent years because of the higher level of education, income and technology. The globalization makes the world smaller, people get the information of the other place easier and the curiosities are grown. It is defined as the act of “traveling to experience the places and activities that authentically represent the stories and people of the past and present” (The National Trust for Historic Preservation, 2000) Macau, a tiny place of China, has her unique culture .Started from Ming Dynasty, Macau had been a colony of Portugal for nearly four hundred years where was also an important trading port between European countries and China .Meantime, the foreigners brought lots of featured architectures and their cultures to Macau. Therefore, Macau possesses array of unique heritages in colonial and Western color in this piece of Chinese soil as well as performs the coexistence of the Eastern and Western countries. 8 Although gambling is so popular and flourishing in Macau, the government has never ignored the preservation of their heritages. According to the Macao World heritage Information Kit, the Macau governor, Marques Esparteiro, had started to pay attention on preserving their heritage and established a committee in charge of these jobs since 1953. Today, Macau government still very concerns the protection of its heritages .We can prove it though the Cultural heritage Department of the Cultural Affairs Bureau established to responsible for all Macau heritages and they determine on educating the local and encourage them to get involve in the heritage tourism. On 15 July 2005,” The Historic Centre of Macao “was inscribed on the World Heritage List and became the 31 World Heritage Sites in China. It is the oldest, the most completed and concentrated heritage sites with mixture of western and traditional Chinese architectures in this tiny land which enables people to have deeper understanding of the spread of western religion .It contains about twenty valuable historical architectures. 9 1.2 Aim Mass tourism has been a main economic pillar in Macau since many years ago; however, heritage tourism is a new trend in recent years. The heritage sites are preserved and conserved well and there are distinctive advantages to promote heritage tourism in Macau .Therefore, I want to identify the progress of developing heritage tourism in Macau and the improvement they should do in this study. 1.3 Objectives of the research Based on the aim of the dissertation, here are the objectives I want to achieve and investigate: 1) To find out how Macau government preserves heritage sites; 2) To find out the destination image of Macau ; 3) To identify the elements influencing the heritage tourism development in Macau; and 4) To recommend the ways to improve heritage tourism in Macau. 10 1.4 Dissertation Outline Chapter one is an introduction of the heritage tourism and the distinctive advantages of Macau developing this kind of tourism. Aim and objectives are included in this part to show what the purpose of this study. Chapter two is a literature on reviewing the definitions of heritage tourism, images of Macau, legislations that Macau government would make to preserve heritages and the challenges would meet. Chapter three illustrates the method used in this study. It shows the research method I chose and describes the processes of carrying out the research. Chapter four presents the results of this project. The six elements that influence the heritage tourism development in Macau are identified and four outcomes are discussed. The last chapter is the conclusion and the recommendation of the project. It summarizes all the finding after analyzing and the suggestion for improving the heritage tourism in Macau 11 CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 The concept of sustainability World Commission on Environment and Development identified it is “forms of progress that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.” Richards (2007) noted that sustainability is about reaching a simultaneously increase of social, cultural, economic and environmental benefits in the development process. 2.2 Definition of Cultural tourism The definition of cultural tourism is arguably. The varied definitions are provided by different authors. It is not easy to set a universally valid definition of cultural tourism. It is relatively easy to fall into trap of using terms, such as heritage tourism, art tourism, ethnic tourism or indigenous tourism that is almost interchangeable. Richards (2001a, p7) suggested that cultural tourism should cover the consumption of cultural products of the past and contemporary culture or the 12 personal or regional ‘way of life’. Thus, cultural tourism can be seen as covering both heritage tourism and art tourism. Cultural tourism is as much based on experiencing as it is on seeing compare to the past definitions as previous definitions placed much more emphasis on cultural tourism as a in its narrow sense of arts and heritage tourism (Smith, 2003). In 1999, the European Association for Tourism and Leisure Education and Research (ATLAS) carried out a Cultural Tourism Research Project for which they defined cultural tourism as: “Technical Definition: All movements of persons to specific cultural attractions, such as museums, heritage sited, artistic performances and festivals outside their normal place of residence” (Richards, 1996, p24). “Conceptual Definition: The movement of persons to cultural manifestations away from their normal place of residence, with the intention to gather new information and experiences to satisfy their cultural needs” (Ibid.).

    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 193 Asia-Pacific Social Science and Modern Education Conference (SSME 2018) Characteristics and protection experience of historical buildings in Macao Yuji Li Department of history, JiNan University, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China [email protected] Keywords: Macao; Historical building; Characteristic; Protection experience Abstract. The historical buildings have been eroded in varying degrees by urban development and construction with the development of economic and commercial society, as a result of which, the overall style of the historic district has been destroyed. Historical building is the witness of human development trace, which reflects the regional culture to a certain extent. Therefore, the protection of historical buildings also means the protection of the regional culture. The Macao SAR government has accumulated a lot of experience in the protection of historical buildings. The historical building resources of Macao were sorted in this article, to analyze the cultural characteristics of historical buildings, and the experience of the Macao SAR government in protecting historical buildings was summarized, with the hope to bring some inspiration for the protection of domestic historical buildings. 1 Introduction The Macao Peninsula was an important channel for the Maritime Silk Road in the sixteenth century and also the earliest missionary center in the Far East. The culture of Macao was rooted in the Chinese society, and in 1557, the Portuguese brought the Portuguese culture after they entered Macao. Then the missionaries carried out the activities of Western learning spreading to the East, and Macao acted as the intermediary role of Chinese and Western culture.
