Sustainable Tourism Guidelines
The Dubrovnik Declaration adopted in September 2006 included an undertaking to "Promote
sustainable cultural tourism as a crucial part of territorial economic development to include
the development of cultural tourism guidelines for local and regional authorities". EAHTR
appointed Brian Human (former Head of Planning at Cambridge City Council) as one of a series of
"experts" funded from the Culture 2008 programme to coordinate a working group in the preparation
of guidelines on sustainable tourism. The full Guidelines are now available to download. A summary of
the Guidelines is also currently under preparation

Heritage Zone
On - line networking opportunity for heritage experts engaged in the sustainable management of
historic cities and cultural heritage. EAHTR’s principle aim is to identify and disseminate good
practice in the sustainable management of historic cities. To do this it needs to facilitate and
encourage collaboration and communication between expert practitioners in the field of cultural
heritage – working in the public, private and voluntary sectors. Heritage Zone is seen as having
the potential to make a major contribution to delivering this objective. The Heritage Zone website
is currently under development – see www.heritagezone.net
