3IntroductionTwo of the main tourism resources are the natural resources and the cultural heritage.UNESCO defines heritage as both “build” cultural sites and natural sites. Natural attractionscan be defined as tourism objectives or destinations that are not made by man while “build”attractions are tourism attractions constructed by man.The heritage concept can be defined as “what we inherit from the past and use in the presentday” (Timothy, 2011) and it can include cultural attractions, old art and crafts, historicallocations, historical build or landscapes, natural resources etc.If heritage tourism can be defined in a simple sentence, the heritage tourist is difficult todefine, each individual is different, and some people have little or no interest in the heritagewhile others are very interested. Some will understand heritage as old towns and buildingslike City of Edinburgh, while some will consider heritage to be “natural wonders” like theGiant’s Causeway, some people will consider heritage to be old customs and archaicorganisational forms, and others will be interested in arts and crafts.

The movement started in 1882 went on for 100 years in whichgovernment did some great things to save the heritage and culture of the country. Some ofthe important steps taken by the government in this time are:1.Government took care of the heritage by developing the tools and other systems toprotect the heritage.2.In the year 1960, government introduced a list which had the details of all the culturalvalue properties which were not destroyed in the war.3.In the year 1980s, Michael Heseltine, then Secretary of State for the Environment,took one major step in the direction of saving the cultural heritage by proposing theformation of an agency which could take care of all the issues related to the country’sheritage. Because of his efforts, in 1984, “English Heritage” was formed to take careof all the cultural value items in England. English Heritage was also responsible forthe preservation of all the cultural item which were brought into England after 1880.Broadening Support for Heritage – the 1990sGathering the support to save our culture and heritage was not an easy task. Although theestablishment of the English Heritage has provided a little hope for the people who cared forour culture, a lot had to be done.1.Cathedral Grants Scheme 1991
