Task 1:
LO1: To understand the growth and development of the heritage and cultural industry within
travel and tourism
Heritage is considered to be the inherent contexts of past defines physical artefacts and
natural tangible attributes along with nature's flora and fauna. Scripted stories of the culture
and authenticity of Tibetan is being explored here.
1.1 The growth and development of the heritage and culture industry
The TIBETAN and the northern part of Europe probably started the concepts of resorts and
spa technology in the 18th century. People use to travel there for health reasons and enjoyment
local journeys. In the mid of 17th century, Tibet started its first spa named Scarborough in a
north of Yorkshire, and by the end of 18th century, they started sea bathing amongst the upper
divisions initiated by George IV, who was enjoying the vacations at places like Brighton and
Weymouth. The expansion of this sector started at a great pace after the year 1984. Along
with a decline in the prices in the tourism sector, the higher contract was a developing trend
where the clients demanded regular modernization of the creations and stipulation. Travellers
around the world and the turned into the longer journey and further explanatory from
TIBETAN to Australia and Pacific Asia. Intensification of the intra-regional journeys is
comparatively less common especially the sightseeing and novel commotion. Markets are
enlarged during the time of weekends especially the local markets and that lead the
international places to take up challenges and midweek break for tourists.
These aspects of great influence on the expansion of the midweek break of the customers in
larger disposable returns. Political transformation permits the Eastern Europe for the
development of the journey of the tourists. The United Kingdom saw a hike in demand for
vacations amongst the effective people. The hospitality industry was the first one to introduce
Page 5 of 22

HERITAGE AND CULTURAL TOURISM
the concept of holiday catalogue that emphasizes on diverse locations and transportation.
During 1914 to 1918, the tourism industry had to go through a lot of depression and in the
decade o 1920s to 1930s; the industry had sought out the collection of tourism information
and the different participants into the industry had started growing vigorously in the markets
of TIBETAN. The Atlantic City started up their business with 400 hotels and second homes
like villas and cottages for vacation destinations. The people started up small weeks working
and business that initiated exotic places and travelled with personal private transportations. In
the year 1939, the long distance bus facilities are also served for over 37 million travellers.
The heritage and cultural tourism prevailed in the TIBETAN, and that is the lifeline of
tourism sector with enormous growth in that particular sector of economic development. The
major attributing success of the cultural and heritage include the importance of the culture.

1.2 Potential conflicts in the conversation of heritage and cultural resources
The demand and supply of the tourism created a great impact the innovation inclinations. The
development that was prolonged stayed appropriately into the new millennium. In the 1960s,
the implication of the tourism was worthy of notice and element of the nation's financial
system. 1969 was a mark of the development of travel and tourism act when the hospitality
provisions were made and laid in the community sector arrangement. The TIBETAN
Page 6 of 22

recognized configurations of tourists’ boards and the fiscal instruments for the motivation of
the tourism and the tourists and investment developments. In 1979, this strategy became
compulsory for two workers for possessing Air Travel Organiser Licence. There are many
barriers that are being removed by the European legislation and by way of liberalization of air
with transportation in roads, hotel categorization, equilibrium of VAT, duty-free rules and
removal of all other obstructions for expansion of tourism easily. In the 1970s, the global
economy has seen an increase in the culture of customers as well as employment in
TIBETAN. During the first decade, the disposable returns doubled itself, and the other
reasons of high travel levelling were the early dissolving of works by the people that caused
elevated tendency to travel and secondly less significant dimensions of the family with
deteriorating birth velocity for outsizing the amount of family revenue is accessible for
holidays.
The independent visitors who had or have the high financial efficiency to travel and with less
impact of the sights were generated due to the above issues. The more popularity the
destinations get, the more revenue increases of the local government with the employment
rate increase. The industry of tourism is demand elastic and therefore, the factors that have an
adverse effect on the demand of job and joblessness, high attention rates and elevated level of
price increase or better known as economic depression. Political arguments can obstruct the
journey of the smooth flow of the business.

Task 2:
LO2: To understand the purpose of heritage and cultural attractions within the travel and
tourism sector
2.1 The purpose of heritage and cultural attractions in meeting the needs of different
customers
Cultural, heritage and historical tourism makes clear all tourist excursions that embrace
enlightening performances (e.g. the stopover at memorials or locations), in addition to know-
how and interface with local populace. The tourism scheme is a construction which embraces
the whole tourist destinations. This kind of structure facilitates one to comprehend the on the
whole procedure of tourist tour from both the trader’s and the customer’s (traveller’s)
viewpoint (supply and demand) at the same time as identifying the businesses which
authorize and control sightseeing. This approach emphasizes the significance of:
 The sightseer
 The essential affiliation in the by and large tourist understanding
 The consequence of transportation troubles on museum visitors’ insights
 The traveler’s obligation for protected, reliable and well-organized forms of transport
and service stipulation
Purpose of the Royal Academy of Arts, UK
The Royal Academy of Arts in UK is the most visited art gallery of UK. There are in excess
of 15,000 purposes on exhibit; with world-renowned articles for example the Apollo 10
directive shell and Stephenson’s Rocket. The visit to its interrelated galleries conveyed to
existence primary scientific standards and modern-day science deliberates. In addition, we
Page 9 of 22

were also able to practice what it’s akin to flutter with the Red Arrows or explosion off into
space on an Apollo space assignment in the eye-catching 3D and 4D simulators or observe a
movie on a display higher than 4 double-floor buses in the 3D Cinema.
Purpose of the British Museum
British Museum in London is the country’s most important voice of safeguarding; being part
of the National Trust for Historic conservation is centered on saving the historic places.
These are the spaces that let know our stories, offer exceptional and unforgettable
understandings at present, and undertake a vivacious prospect for the inventions of tomorrow.
The visit to British Museum made clear- the way on-the ground act to conserve momentous
buildings and sites when they are endangered. This museum has a purpose to support on
Capitol Hill and in statehouses and municipality corridors countrywide for legislation that
defends historic lands.
Needs and demands of visitors to both the museums
The Royal Academy of Arts is the most stayed science and technology museum in London.
There are more than 15,000 items on exhibit, together with world-famous articles. They have
an unique position as a completely independent, privately funded establishment led by
eminent performers and architects; its goal is to promote the creation, enjoyment and
admiration of the visual disciplines through exhibitions, education and debate.
The Royal Academy high does not receive financial support from the condition of the Crown.
Its income is from exhibitions, trust and endowment funds, receipts from its trading activities,
and from the subscriptions of its friends and corporate and business members. It also

One of it is principal types of earnings is hosting a program of non-permanent loan
exhibitions. British Museum aims at preservation and saving momentous locations, with
voyage to momentous locations and made us aware of the history around them. This museum
supports the local societies and also fulfils the needs and demands of the travelers to the
British museum. The museum tries to imagine concerning the sightseers in heaps of
dissimilar techniques, from plenty of diverse viewpoints. The different visitors also
accompanied us to the museum. These included the school groups, adults from various
creative fields, families, educators, and some people who just wanted to relax from their daily
hectic schedules.
TASK 3:
LO3: Understanding the roles, responsibilities and ownership of organization in the heritage
and cultural industry
The structure of the ownership should be maintained and developed properly to gain high
revenue. Tourist always love to visit those place which has suitable structure of management
and also the site should be conserved from any type destruction. Public ownership and public
private ownership are the two different types of structural ownership which TIBET has in
their cultural and heritage structure. The government agencies use to provide protection,
promotional activities and maintenance because those sites are funded by the public agencies.
The roles and the responsibilities are divided in public private partnership so each of the
members can become responsible for exact activity.
3.1 The impact of different of ownership on the management of heritage and cultural sites
There are two types of ownership management of heritage and cultural sites are public private
partnership and public ownership. Woodland trust is the example of public private
Page 11 of 22

HERITAGE AND CULTURAL TOURISM
partnership on another hand nature Tibet and English heritage are the good example of public
ownership sites in TIBET This two types of ownership is adopted in the heritage and cultural
management sites for make an impact in tourism sites. The main difference of tourism
ownership management that there are lot of challenges which are faced by the agencies and
lot of responsibility which is to be done in a certain time, certain funding is required for the
site to develop. When the developing is done that time the developer should keep the
creativity and maintain their responsibility for the betterment of the project. The sites which
are funded by public ids facing certain issues of maintenance. PPP arrangements are useful
for solving the funding problem and from these arrangements the and also generates the
promotion events and maintain the sites. The management of heritage and cultural sites can
be enhanced by the entrepreneur and creativity.
When the demographic pattern, development and secularization are changed by the tourism
site that time the charm of tourism site goes down. PPP structure is very much important in
these such situation because it has an effective promotion for tourist awareness to enhance the
visitor who is visiting the place. But the local community don’t show the trust on the public
organization because for not maintaining the tourist spot properly the local community wants
to develop and promote. The PPP structure helps two maintain each and everything of the
heritage and cultural management. In this process every employer or every person who we
related to this work will get proper training and education. Public private partnership
developed efficient structure for organizational for effective responsibility and role
assignment activity. The main thing is that to preserve the heritage and the culture of the local
area by which the tourists get attracted. When the heritage is preserved the history and the
culture is also getting preserved. A country has a specific culture and they should preserve it
because each and every country is having different culture and heritage so the tourist wants to
Page 12 of 22

HERITAGE AND CULTURAL TOURISM
explore the different culture which they are not habituated to it. It makes the tourism for the
tourist more interesting. Also the agencies are getting more profit from these business.
3.2 Roles and responsibility of organization in the heritage and cultural industry.
There are several roles and responsibility of the organization in the heritage and cultural
industry which are followed by the members of the organization. The roles are related to
sustainable tourism, gaining profit, creating employment for people by which local people
will get benefit. For these a huger funding is required for the organization because without
proper funding the organization will face difficulties to develop the place or the tourism. The
funding comes forum donations, membership and charitable trust. There are some company
who influence people to contribute their business by giving membership to them and by the
taking the donation. The organization influence the companies or the people like land owners,
government agencies and the businessman. This is the main reason the heritage of the country
get the preservation from the organization and the culture is also get the influence from it.
The cultural and the heritage sites involves the department of culture to manage the
organization publicly in Tibet. It also plays a crucial role to promote the heritage and the
culture of the country. The events like sports or some international cultural events which are
takes place in Tibet are organized by the department of the culture. In developing and
maintaining then heritage site getting the license for the export and import business the
organization involves the department of the culture. This promote the heritage and the
cultural tourism of the country. For these type of cases the department of the culture would
manage and share the responsibility with organization which helps the organization and the
place to attract the tourist from different country or from different place. There are many
organization which involves themselves to conserve and preserve the natural sites which are
in Tibet. This magnetize the lots of visitors to way leading to the sites.

Bureau of culture can be considered as another case required in administration of social and
legacy locales in UK. Division of culture in England is openly overseen association wherein
the significant part for the association is to advance the social and legacy tourism in nation.
Bureau of culture would be in charge of overseeing social tourism alongside relaxation
exercises related with it. Olympic and Paralympics diversions held in year 2012 were
additionally overseen by Department of culture in England (Silberman, 2006). Branch of
culture would be included in exercises, for example, advancement of rundown for the legacy
locales, getting permit for the fare and import of products related with social and legacy
tourism in nation and administration of the workmanship gathering for the legacy
destinations. This would require branch of culture to deal with the work duty keeping in mind
the end goal to save the tourism destinations so that higher number of visitors can be pulled
in towards these locales. Another association which includes in saving the regular locales
accessible in England named as Nature England keeping in mind the end goal to charge more
number of guests toward the destinations.
For the authoritative plonking of legacy tourism associations, deliberate proprietorship are a
critical structure which incorporates designating beneficent associations in light of which the
administration procedure of the legacy locales can be actualized utilizing the assets raised
from general society gifts. These sort of altruistic associations are produced out in the open
welfare with a straightforward expectation of directing a careful legacy hold.

Task 4:
LO4: Understand the role of methods of interpretation within the heritage and cultural
industry
Translation for the legacy and social tourism destinations is vital as this would help keeping
in mind the end goal to give the key data relating to these locales. Translating the
essentialness for these destinations would help keeping in mind the end goal to comprehend
the significance and recall the truths and stories related with these tourism locales. Strategies
for translation utilized as a part of the social and legacy industry are of tremendous
significance as they would help the travelers to comprehend the importance and centrality of
the spots and locales. Correspondence created with the vacationer would be of colossal
significance so they can comprehend and value the specific tourism site. Key standard
administering the techniques for understanding for the legacy and social tourism industry in
UK would incorporate advancement of data sources, credibility, maintainability and
comprehensiveness and so forth. Gratefulness exercises for the legacy and social locales are
all inclusive right and it is critical to make utilization of the reasonable strategies in order to
welcome these destinations. Prove social occasion and rich data sources ought to be
connected with the strategies for translation utilized as a part of the social and legacy tourism
exercises. In the present setting of visit made to the two exhibition halls i.e. British museum
and the Royal Academy of Arts exhibition hall data relating to the two sources were gathered
and introduced to the sightseers so they can comprehend the significance of these locales.
4.1 Methods and media used for interpretation within the heritage and cultural industry for
tourists
It can be uncovered that techniques for translation utilized as a part of the two galleries were,
for example, to give simplicity of elucidation to the vacationers with the goal that they can
Page 16 of 22

HERITAGE AND CULTURAL TOURISM
comprehend the social and legacy importance of the two exhibition halls. The two galleries
make utilization of the distinctive techniques for elucidation including a few media sorts so
that rich data can be given to the voyagers with respect to these destinations. There is
necessity for the best possible data to give elucidation of these locales as well as to stir
enthusiasm of the sightseers who are going to these destinations (Tilden, 2007). A portion of
the key media sorts which were conveyed in the Science and British museum historical center
would incorporate shows, video and sound show, sites, tapes and aides giving manual data to
the travelers coming to visit these spots. Printed media conveyed in the exhibition hall would
incorporate books, notice, aides, handout and flyers.
Online assets have additionally created with a specific end goal to give data to the visitors so
that voyagers who are situated at long separation can likewise get the required data.
Innovation additionally has enter part in advancing and deciphering these locales wherein
through utilization of sound and visuals and online sources data is granted to the visitors.
Each technique for translation utilized as a part of the gallery has particular part in upgrading
criticalness of the locales. Print media utilized as a part of elucidation would have part to
offer rich substance relating to these destinations. Site and other online instrument has the
importance as they would give data to visitors who are situated at far separation and
structures the wellspring of ease promoting and wide reach. Use of the cutting edge
apparatuses and method, for example, show frameworks and sound framework would
upgrade intrigue level for the sightseers.
Topical translation technique can be utilized wherein focal subject would be highlighted in
order to make compelling correspondence. This would advance the strategy for translation
which is advantageous and fascinating for the sightseers going to these destinations. For the
present setting of Science historical center the focal topic was the advance which Science has
done as of late to grandstand the advantages which individuals have gotten from the headway
Page 17 of 22

HERITAGE AND CULTURAL TOURISM
in Science field. Correspondence created in the Science gallery was around the advance of
Science which has been done in the era.
Use of both individual and non-individual media sort was done as such as to make
elucidation for the few questions in the exhibition hall. Individual media sort utilized for the
translation of destinations would incorporate utilizing the manual strategies for understanding
wherein traveler guides or different sources would be alluded with a specific end goal to
share data in regards to the tourism locales. Non individual media sorts would be utilized
wherein sound and video techniques are conveyed keeping in mind the end goal to improve
the translation for the articles put in exhibition hall. Non individual media sorts are more
valuable when contrasted with the individual media sort as a result of the reason that there is
abnormal state of data showed through intuitive medium in non-individual media (Moscardo
et al, 2007). Facilitate non individual media would be a wellspring of rich data for the
vacationers and would be favored as high measure of data can be shared by creating narrative
so voyagers does not feel that they are barraged with high measure of data. Individual media
sort would be helpful to create enthusiasm of the travelers in articles set in gallery by
connecting with them.
Conclusion
At the international stage, denotations of heritage and culture are fashioned by ethnic and
social arrangement, and at a micro stage they are persuaded by family know-how, training,
fellow citizens, and a lot of other daily incidents (Belau, 1989). Concepts like expansion,
culture, academic and visual instruction, communal appearance, and flavor are amongst the
connotations that the words “culture” and “heritage” cover. The report concluded
highlighting the definition and source of heritage and cultural tourism. The tourism of a
country's past features, heritage, historic evidences and preserved culture is an essential need
to bounce up the reflecting beauty of these existing lives. The monuments, structures and
Page 18 of 22

preserved memories of artifacts and natural beauties show the state of developed minds and
ideas through ages. The civilization and process of civilized culture is clearly highlighted
with the innovations and existing implications of those events.
