Heritage and cultural tourism are part of the tourism industry that must be maintained sustainability. Therefore heritage tourism destinations must be able to carry a “sense of place” as its focus. A sense of place is essential in attracting tourists to visit heritage sites for a long time. This article aims to assess the relationship between the Sense of Place between tourists, both domestic and international, and the length of stay in the Kota Bharu Cultural Heritage Zone. A total of 445 tourists participated as respondents by filling out a questionnaire survey. At the same time, data analysis was carried out using One way ANOVA. The results showed that the Sense of Place in the Kota Bharu Cultural Heritage Area affects the length of stay of tourists with eight correlated scales. Those eight scales are authenticity, historical value, distinction, harmony, maintainability, and cleanliness. This study also finds several important implications for local governments and tourism practitioners in maintaining the economic and social attributes of a tourism destination. This study is expected to serve as the basis for future studies related to the design of urban areas and other heritage tourism sites.

Cultural heritage tourism (CHT) has become an important part of the tourism industry. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate the sustainability of CHT destinations for tourism development. The majority of existing studies have examined the destination sustainability of ecotourism with the considerations of three stakeholder groups, namely, resource administration, tourist, and local community. However, the impact of tourism enterprises on destination sustainability has been constantly ignored in CHT-related studies. To fill these gaps, this study aims at developing an indicator system for comprehensively assessing the sustainability of CHT destinations. Specifically, this study identified an evaluation indicator system based on the Delphi technique and applied it to the context of Pingyao Ancient City in China. Results demonstrated that scores obtained by all four stakeholder groups ranged between 3.0 and 4.0 and the overall sustainability score was only 63.94, indicating that Pingyao was in the “somewhat sustainable” state according to the criteria (0−25, unsustainable; 25−50, somewhat unsustainable; 50−75, somewhat sustainable; 75−100, sustainable) specified in previous studies. A more balanced outcome should be achieved where each stakeholder’s interests are fully considered, but not at the expense of the others. The findings are of great significance for heritage tourism literature and sustainable destination management.

Abstract The coordinated development of heritage protection and tourism is the goal of both cultural heritage sites and sustainable heritage tourism. However, the development of sustainable heritage tourism can be restricted due to insufficient resources for heritage tourism marketing as well as insufficient cultural heritage protection measures. This study uses digital methods such as oblique photography, 3D laser scanning technology and panoramic technology to digitize the cultural landscape heritage site. Using these methods, we build a virtual tourism subsystem to improve tourists’ experience of cultural heritage tourism resources and enhance the attraction of cultural heritage tourism. In addition, we build a tourist flow and environmental monitoring and management subsystem based on the Internet of Things technology. This subsystem can help managers adjust and regulate tourist flow according to the tourism carrying capacity threshold. We also conduct an ecological environment health assessment and management simulation according to the “Pressure-Status- Response” model, in doing so, we aim to enhance the protection of cultural heritage sites. Finally, we develop a comprehensive platform to integrate tourism marketing and heritage protection management functions. The results of this study provide a new approach for the coordination of and symbiosis between the protection of cultural heritage and tourism activity.

With the advancements in the recent mobile and wearable technologies, opportunities in the digital tourism sector are on an all-time high. Although, there is only limited research on users’ acceptance of Augmented Reality (AR) in the cultural tourism context, previous researchers have explored the opportunities of using AR in order to enhance user acceptance and adoption. Recent AR research lack empirical studies and works that integrates dimensions which are specific to cultural heritage tourism and smart glass specific context. Hence, this work proposes an AR acceptance model in the context of cultural heritage tourism and smart glasses capable of performing augmented reality. Therefore, this work aims to discuss the methods needed to map the requirements and propose an AR acceptance model for Smart Glasses based wearable outdoor AR applications. The proposed model can be used to understand the AR usage behavior and visiting intention for tourists who use Smart Glass based AR at UNESCO cultural heritage sites in Malaysia. Furthermore, this work identifies technology readiness, visual appeal, information quality, and facilitating conditions as external variables and factors that may influence beliefs of visitors, their attitudes and intention of usage.

PurposeThis study presents an example of sustainable cultural heritage tourism. The heritage tourism at the site of the ship USAT Liberty in the small fishing village of Tulamben on the northeast coast of Bali Island plays a significant role in the lives of the local people who live nearby, who actively participate in the site's management.Design/methodology/approachThis study assessed the management of the site by the local community by means of formal interviews with major stakeholders, informal conversations, and observations in the field.FindingsAlthough it lacks any direct historical connection with the local community, the reuse of the shipwreck as a tourist asset has motivated the community to participate in the conservation of the site and sustain its values. This article argues that the case of the USAT Liberty demonstrates that the management of heritage sites can be effectively sustained using bottom-up approaches.Originality/valueThe USAT Liberty case study provides insights and practical recommendations that could be valuable for other cultural heritage sites in implementing management with a bottom-up approach. This paper enriches the knowledge of community-based management and promotes it as a pathway to sustainable cultural heritage tourism.

Cultural heritage tourism industry is generally required to continuously be creative in finding new strategies for attracting and engaging tourists actively in enjoying this type of tourism. However, cultural heritage managers generally face challenges in marketing and competitiveness. One of the ways to gain competitive advantage is the implementation of the Augmented Reality technology. This study was conducted in order to recreate an interpretation of tourist attractions with the use of Augmented Reality in Bali with the aim of enhancing cultural heritage tourists experience. The methodology used are documentation, interview, usability study and observation. Researches on usability involves users in testing a prototype. The prototype here is an augmented reality app that present the condition of three tourist attractions in Bali (Kuta, Sanur and Uluwatu), back then to 1970-1980s, to the times before Mass Tourism became a threat like nowadays. The usability study and observation method are widely used to understand how people work with electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets in recent days. The expected results in this study are to produce an app that is useful to enhance the experience of tourists in Bali and at the end it is expected to create a better appreciation to the culture, history of Bali and its tourism.
