O patrimônio cultural e sua relação com a economia local

Abstract

This work aims to evaluate the interconnection between cultural heritage, tourism and local economy, seeking to understand how these three aspects influence each other. The importance of studying this relationship is due to the significant impact that social relations surrounding cultural heritage can have on the economy of a given region. It also shows that, depending on planning, tourism practiced in this region comes to be seen as a reference framework for analyzing tourism policies and helps to quantify the effects produced by the presence of temporary visitors in a given space, such as opportunity cost, relations social, local visibility, sustainability and accounting benefits.
