Tourism and Strategic Planning: Learning from the Chinese Province of Hainan ...Bashar Dayoub
This paper is an analytical study of tourism plans of China’s Hainan Province and the Syrian coastal region before the Syrian war commenced in 2011. It compares the two types of tourism (in the Mediterranean and the Asia Pacific) and concludes with an integrated model of successful regional tourism. The focus is on strategic plans of the last two decades and how they facilitate tourism, specifically, how strategic plans can be translated into sustainable tourism development projects in both regions. The strategic plan in the Chinese case considers environmental, economic, institutional, and social characteristics of tourism development, which determines the necessary infrastructure and environment for the further development of tourism. This is contrasted with the absence of such a strategy in the case of Syria. Data were drawn from in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis. Qualitative research techniques were used to analyze the available data and to form a detailed description of the past, present, and future potential for tourism in the two regions. The study measures transportation, land use/land cover patterns, tourism and tourism development, urban development, and strategic plans. It applied the lessons learned from Chinese tourism innovations in Hainan to propose an executive plan for sustainable tourism development in the Syrian coastal region once the present war has ended. This requires the active participation of all relevant stakeholders from almost every domain despite differing interests. It further requires improving the integration of three separate developmental factors (social, environmental, and economic) as complementary rather than conflicting elements.

It explores registering iconic waves on UNESCO's World Heritage lists to raise awareness and provide legal protections. This would require identifying natural areas and cultural traditions associated with surfing to potentially get sites listed as natural, cultural, or mixed heritage. The campaign aims to create an international steering committee and coordination between organizations working locally to protect waves worldwide.
The document discusses the shift in focus of managing Angkor, an iconic World Heritage site in Cambodia, from conservation of monuments within site boundaries to addressing broader environmental, social, and economic challenges across the Angkor ecosystem.

legal Protection Of The World Cultural And Natural Heritage(china)世界文化遗产和自然遗产...hong749
The document summarizes the legal protection of world cultural and natural heritage according to international conventions and treaties. It discusses UNESCO's World Heritage Convention of 1972 which aims to protect cultural and natural sites of outstanding universal value. It also covers the establishment of the World Heritage Committee and Fund to support protection efforts. The document notes that while early conventions focused on tangible heritage, later developments recognized the importance of protecting intangible cultural heritage as well. China is highlighted for its efforts to protect its cultural and natural sites and participation in the World Heritage system.
UNESCO World Heritage Sites are places of cultural and natural heritage around the world that are protected by international treaties. Sites are nominated by the country they reside in and must meet at least one of ten criteria relating to outstanding universal value and importance. There are over 800 World Heritage Sites designated so far, with the majority being cultural sites located in Europe and Asia. The protection of these sites is a concern of all countries party to the World Heritage conventions.

The document discusses the legal protection of underwater cultural heritage and the UNESCO 2001 Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage. It notes that national laws and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) do not provide comprehensive protection. The 2001 UNESCO Convention was adopted to ensure uniform protection for underwater sites as for land-based sites and prohibits pillaging and commercial exploitation. It establishes ethical principles, cooperation between states, and scientific guidelines for underwater archaeology projects. States ratify the Convention by depositing an instrument of ratification with UNESCO.
The document describes UNESCO's Memory of the World (MOW) programme, which aims to preserve and promote access to important documentary heritage from around the world. It lists several significant documents and archives that have been inscribed on the MOW register, including a 6th century bible from Italy and Nelson Mandela's arrest warrant. It outlines the programme's vision, objectives, structure including international, regional and national committees, and the importance of the MOW register for nominating documentary heritage. The conclusion emphasizes that the programme creates an important foundation for future generations and encourages the preservation of our collective human experience and history.
The ICCROM-Sharjah regional office was established in Sharjah, UAE. In 2018-2019, it conducted capacity building activities in 8 countries that served ICCROM members in the Middle East and North Africa. These activities included training courses, workshops, and conferences focused on conservation, risk management, community engagement, and advocacy. Notable projects included the restoration of historic sites in Oman and the UAE, as well as establishing community museums in Sudan.
The document discusses the World Heritage Convention of 1972. It was created by UNESCO to address preserving important cultural and natural sites around the world. The convention has six main goals, including encouraging more countries to sign on and identifying properties for the World Heritage List. States must meet criteria to have a site included. The US played a key role in establishing the convention and currently has 22 sites listed, though one is endangered. Implementation and oversight of sites varies by country. Egypt faces challenges preserving its sites due to political turmoil following the Arab Spring uprisings.

10. BRIEF HISTORY
The idea of creatingan international movement for protecting
heritage emerged after World War I.
The 1972 Convention concerning the Protection of the World
Cultural and Natural Heritagedeveloped fromthe mergingof two
separate movements:
the first focusingon the preservation of cultural sites,
and the otherdealingwith the conservation of nature.
11. Linking the protection of cultural
and natural heritage
• The idea of combining conservation of
cultural sites with those of nature comes
from the United States of America.
• A White House Conference in
Washington, D.C., in 1965 called for a
‘World Heritage Trust’ that would
stimulate international cooperation to
protect ‘the world's superb natural and
scenic areas and historic sites for the
present and the future of the entire world
citizenry’.
• In 1968, the International Union for
Conservation of Nature (IUCN) developed
similar proposals for its members. These
proposals were presented to the 1972
United Nations conference on Human
Environment in Stockholm.
• Eventually, a single text was agreed
upon by all parties concerned. The
Convention concerning the Protection of
World Cultural and Natural Heritage
was adopted by the General Conference
of UNESCO on 16 November 1972.
• The same General Conference adopted
on 16 November 1972
the Recommendation concerning the
Protection, at National Level, of the
Cultural and Natural Heritage.

23. World Heritage Forest
Programme
Ranging in size from 18
hectares (Vallée de Mai,
Seychelles), to 8.8 million
hectares (Lake Baikal,
Russian Federation), World
Heritage forest sites now
have a total surface area
of over 75 million hectares
(1.5 times the surface area
of France) and represent
over 13% of all IUCN
category I-IV protected
forests worldwide.
Given these figures, it is clear that the World Heritage Convention is uniquely
positioned amongst international conventions, programmes and agencies to
play a leading role for in-situ conservation of forest biodiversity. In recognition
of this solemn responsibility, the World Heritage Committee in its 25 th session
(2001), agreed that forests warranted a particular focus, and approved the
creation of the World Heritage Forest programme to ensure that the World
Heritage Convention be leveraged as much as possible to further forest
conservation on a global scale.
One new World
Heritage site with
important forest
components was
inscribed at the
37th World
Heritage
Committee
meeting in June,
2013.
Xinjiang Tianshan, a four part serial
property in China was recognized in
