(VOVworld) - Delegates hailed the important role of cultural heritages in promoting tourism and creating benefits for society at a seminar held in Hanoi on Saturday by Vietnam Tourism Administration in cooperation with the EU-funded Environmentally and Socially Responsible Tourism Capacity Development Program (ESRT). Participants proposed solutions to develop tourism in line with heritage preservation under the model public-private-community. They suggested improving tourism management capacity to better control the number of tourists and possible impacts on heritage sites. They asked for support policies to protect cultural resources and the environment while encouraging stronger cooperation between relevant agencies in charge of protecting cultural heritages and tourism promotion.
