Summary:	"This book examines the relationship between culture, heritage, conservation and tourism development in historic towns and urban centres. The impact of tourism on historic towns, and the role it plays in conservation and urban continuity, is debated, and long-term planning and effective management - based on strategic decision-making, which is multi-disciplinary and multi-dimensional - is discussed. The book aims to provide guidance in tourism development and visitor management for historic towns, in support of sustainable development objectives and community development." "The main focus of the book is medium sized historic towns and quarters that are attractive to the tourist market, but historic quarters in large cities and smaller, rural settlements are not excluded."--Jacket.
