Abstract

This thematic issue explores the interface between safeguarding intangible cultural heritage and sustainable tourism. The relationship between intangible heritage and tourism has prompted lively discussions in the field of tourism studies as well as amongst international intangible heritage scholars and practitioners.1 Discussions in each of these fields, as well as interdisciplinary conversations, have revealed both the promises and challenges entailed in attempts to safeguard intangible cultural heritage via tourism. The contributions and case studies within this special issue offer additional nuances to these discussions and shed light on possible paths for not only safeguarding intangible cultural heritage, but also fostering sustainable tourism and economic revival in communities challenged by either a lack of economic revenue sources or by overtourism
