Many communities across the world are interested in expanding, preserving, and managing their heritage resources. This process is often complex and takes time and the proper tools to accomplish these goals. This Heritage Tourism Toolkit is a package of practical tools that communities or groups can use to develop, manage, and protect their heritage resources.

The authors and contributors to this toolkit have used the tools and resources presented here in communities across the nation. These tools can help you improve the management of your community's heritage resources.

Each category, tool, or resource is introduced with a brief explanation, which will help you decide which tool or resource would be most useful for your goal or task at hand.
