Abstract: Current practices and new directions in heritage tourism acknowledge the rapid changes in approaches to improving and managing tourism to places and activities that represent the experiences, stories and people of the past and present. The changes further represent the conflicting relationships between human and the environment but may not respond to global challenges affecting communities and the environment. The offer and regarded as responses to global issues. Through a systematic review, we identified the eight key directions in management of heritage tourism including i.) addressing impacts of disaster risks and post-disaster recovery, ii.) enhancing tourism entrepreneurship and branding, iii.) motivation and incentives for community engagement, iv.) promoting touristic creativity and innovation, v.) protecting indigenous rights and knowledge systems, vi.) recognising gender equality and addressing generational shifts, vii.) enhancing education and lifelong learning, and viii.) enhancing livelihood and wellbeing.
