Interactions between cultural heritage, tourism, and pedagogy deserve investigation in an as-built environment under a macro- or micro-perspective of urban fabric. The heritage site of Shih Yih Hall, Lukang, was explored. An Augmented Reality Tourism System (ARTS) was developed on a smartphone-based platform for a novel application scenario using 3D scans converted from a point cloud to a portable interaction size. ARTS comprises a real-time environment viewing module, a space-switching module, and an Augmented Reality (AR) guide graphic module. The system facilitates scenario initiations, projection and superimposition, annotation, and interface customization, with software tools developed using ARKit® on the iPhone XS Max®. The three-way interaction between urban fabric, cultural heritage tourism, and pedagogy was made possible through background block-outs and an additive or selective display. The illustration of the full-scale experience of the smartphone app was made feasible for co-relating the cultural dependence of urban fabric on tourism. The great fidelity of 3D scans and AR scenes act as a pedagogical aid for students or tourists. A Post-Study System Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ) evaluation verified the usefulness of ARTS.

Government, tourism developers, and communities appreciate the cultural significance of historic sites from varied viewpoints. This chapter aims to provide an effective lens through which to view the development trajectory of China’s cultural heritage tourism. A central thread is the relationship between cultural heritage tourism and the shaping of the public view of history, examined using the case study of Chengde, a World Heritage Site in China. The study provides insight into the contested use of the space by different parties through analysis of Chengde’s symbolic value in promoting ethnic diversity and enhancing national unity. Although the focus on the site’s cultural significance has resulted in a variety of public programs, interpretation of the site reflects values consistent with government objectives and commercial interests. The ability of the site to incorporate multiple perspectives in heritage interpretation is limited by underdeveloped community consultation and participation in the heritage management process.

The aim of this study is to investigate the determinants of behavioral intention to visit a historical city in the context of cultural heritage tourism from a marketing experiential perspective. Specifically, the main objective is to investigate the relative influence of the three experiential constructs identified as service experience, novelty experience, and leisure experience towards the tourist’s intention to recommend and return to the historical city of Malacca. To the best knowledge of the researcher, this study is the first to incorporate all three variables together in a single research model. A total of 300 respondents consists of both local and foreign tourists were involved in this study. Data were collected around the historical city of Malacca, a popular UNESCO World Heritage Site in Malaysia. To qualify as the respondents of this study, the so-called cultural tourists must have been visiting the historical city for at least 2 days. Multiple Regression Analysis was employed to test all hypotheses developed in this study. The results showed that two of the independent variables namely leisure experience and service experience were found to have positive relationships with behavioral intention. Interestingly, this study found no evidence to support the relationship between novelty experience and behavioral intention in the context of cultural heritage tourism. Undeniably, the novelty of the cultural heritage tourism products is not the core determinant of tourist’s revisit intention as well as favourable word-of-mouth as these products are considered as distinctive in nature and standing on their own.
