 Value orientations and heritage tourism management at Petra Archaeological Park, JordanMohammad M. Alazaizeh, Jeffrey C. Hallo, Sheila J. Backman, William C. Norman and Melissa A. Vogel Tourism Management, 2016, vol. 57, issue C, 149-158 Abstract: Involving different stakeholders, including tourists, in managing tourism and understanding their value orientations are key concepts to achieve sustainability of heritage tourism. However, tourists have been mostly ignored in managing heritage attractions. Given the importance of values in heritage tourism management, and the different tourists' preferences toward management actions, this article aims to explore the value orientations of different types of tourists at Petra Archaeological Park, and how these values influence their management actions preferences. Majority of the tourists were preservation value oriented, and they preferred direct management actions rather than indirect actions. Results indicated that whenever the level of the importance of heritage tourism increases in tourists' trip motivations, tourists tend to be more preservation value oriented and support direct management actions.
