What is the socio-economic impact potential of UNESCO World Heritage Site status?
James Rebanks examines World Heritage Sites across the world to discover the motivation behind heritage listings, including economic development. He finds that a designation can often be a catalyst to engage with the rest of the world from a position of confidence, selling distinct products and services at added value based upon their provenance. The critical lesson that emerges from the analysis is how the management organisation and stakeholders perceive heritage status matters.
Rebanks’ presentation will highlight what implications his findings might have for the food, wine and tourism economy of the proposed Mount Lofty Ranges Agrarian Landscape UNESCO bid.
This event is co-presented by the Hawke Centre and the Mount Lofty Ranges World Heritage bid.
