Emergency-proof tourism: The heritage of industrial archaeology in internal areas as a potential for a sustainable tourism

Changes associated with the concept of heritage involve evolution and expansion of scope and direction. The previous heritage concept concentrated on the strict protection of nature reserves and individual monuments. Recent heritage concept has focused on the common heritage of humanity. Over the last decades, the heritage concept includes new issues of environmental protection and sustainable development. Emergency-Proof Tourism: The Heritage of Industrial Archaeology in Internal Areas as a Potential for Sustainable Tourism aims to embrace the current Covid-19 pandemic crisis as a challenge and opportunity to activate heritage resources for sustainable tourism purposes. Emergency-proof tourism examines the heritage associated with the industrial past and development strategies. Strategies can have a direct or indirect link to tourism. Development strategies simultaneously protect heritage and transform the space and experience of people, both indigenous and visitors.
