How does the Tourism Law and Regulatory Framework ensure the protection of cultural heritage sites?

The Tourism Law and Regulatory Framework often includes specific provisions to ensure the protection of cultural heritage sites. These provisions may involve:

• Restrictions on the development or activities that can be conducted in and around cultural heritage sites to prevent damage and degradation.
• Regulations requiring impact assessments before construction or tourism-related projects can proceed.
• Laws that mandate the involvement of cultural heritage experts in the planning and management of tourism activities.
• Guidelines for tourists on acceptable behavior at heritage sites to minimize wear and tear.

Examples include the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, which many countries adopt into their national legislation, and specific local laws focused on particular sites or types of heritage.
