Discuss how cultural heritage preservation relates to development

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: The ideal answer will include:
1. Cultural heritage, typically in the form of tourism, offers opportunity for development in the form of revenue and employment.
2. Cultural tourism is a double-edged sword, however, and the infrastructure required to support it may impair normal life for the culture or physically threaten the tourist sites.
3. Cultural property rights law is a growing area. It offers both the possibility of local cultures retaining revenue from their cultural property and of the legalization process distorting the ways of life it pertains to.
