Importance of heritage
|
The apparently ever-increasing importance of heritage in an individual and collective sense relates directly to an on-going series of challenges to, and explorations of, notions of identity and belonging in a highly mobile world. Heritage tourism, from the perspectives of its production and consumption is, in part, explained by a normative search for stability. The concept of heritage is thus strongly associated with ideas of material permanence and authenticity. Discourses and practices relating to heritage reflect this in their references to notions of preservation, protection, management and sustainability.
While acknowledging the importance of heritage and its accepted touristic dimension, we need also to be aware of the problems that the designation of heritage can bring, and of the need for a wider social, cultural and political role for heritage which can meet changing needs and profiles of host communities and tourists alike. Heritage, needs to be always moving forward; creatively re-defining itself, seeking engagement in critical agendas relating to conflict resolution, inter-cultural dialogue and poverty reduction. In doing so heritage tourism can relate more to the emerging generations of tourists who seek not only to passively observe the past, but to learn from it, and where appropriate, challenge and change it.
India is colourful and vibrant, a land as diverse as its people. A mosaic of faiths, cultures, customs and languages that blend harmoniously to form a composite whole. One of the world’s oldest living civilizations - which gave to the world - the concept of zero, the primordial sound Aum…Yoga, and Buddhism.
Enchanting India…a treasury of art, architecture; philosophy, classical dances and music; the mesmerising Taj, the eternal Ganges, the Thar desert, the mighty Himalayas, tropical rainforests, the Cape where the waters of three seas mingle…the rich fauna-snakes, peacocks, Royal Bengal Tiger, lions…India is all of these and more… The present conference is presenting a forum where discussions and deliberations take place on various aspects of tourism and heritage and the role of the various stakeholders in the process.
