In 2008 the World Tourism Organization (WTO) reported 924 million international arrivals and anti

39、cipates that the numbers will grow up to 1.6 billion in the next ten years. Nowadays, within the tourism industry, cultural heritage is the most rapidly growing sector4.

40、aces and activities that authentically5 represent the stories and people of the past and present. It includes irreplaceable6, historic, cultural and natural resources”.

45、 affirms11 that tourism is one effective way of redistributing12 wealth.
