Heritage Tourism Services
Community Heritage Group services
come in a variety of formats: lectures, half- and full-day workshops,
longer-term consulting arrangement, and other assistance. CHG staff will
also work with you to craft a program specific to your needs.
Lectures (30-90 minutes)
The Challenge of Heritage Tourism. What is heritage tourism and why are communities getting into the business? Is there a downside to heritage tourism and how can you avoid it?
Civic Tourism. An overview of how communities can design tourism programs that fully engage and benefit citizens, not just the usual corporate players in the hospitality industry.
Suggested Audiences: Visioning programs, city staffs and commissions, tourism agencies, museum staffs and boards, historic preservation groups, economic development agencies.
Workshops (half- or full-day)
Preparing for Tourists. How do heritage sites design and market exhibits and other programs for tourists? How is this different from what they normally do? What do we mean by "authenticity"? How might communities that don’t have a museum plan for one?
Organic Tourism. Exercises that walk participants through the process of re-imagining "place-based" tourism as a focal point for town planning. How communities can use cultural, environmental, and built assets to position "place" at the center of their long-term planning.
Suggested Audiences: City staffs and commissions, tourism agencies, museum staffs and boards, historic preservation groups, economic development agencies.
