Cultural heritage is one of the most prevalent tourism resources in the world. Most travel involves some element of culture and heritage tourism continues to grow each year. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the issues, practices, current debates, concepts and managerial concerns associated with cultural heritage-based tourism.

This book combines theoretical and practical aspects of applied human resources management using a critical lens. It is both a descriptive and analytical journey through the tourism sector which, due to its nature, may be described as a relatively deregulated and eclectic industry.
