| Abstract | ||
| This study deals with one of the important axes of tourism development, which is "cultural heritage tourism" due to its importance in achieving the objectives of tourism development strategies to create job opportunities and increase the state's resources from foreign currency, since cultural heritage areas are considered one of the most important tributaries of tourism development, due to the importance of the relationship between tourism and cultural heritage sites in showing the culture of local communities and eliciting information through tourists visiting these areas. The tourism industry is directly linked to the history and civilization of different societies, as it is concerned with the value of cultural heritage and works to highlight its features, preserve it and advance it through the search for diversity in the values that characterize local communities, and since Egypt is rich in huge potentials of tangible and intangible cultural heritage elements. Which expresses the history and civilization of this country and the diversity of the culture of its people, whose roots go back thousands of years, so attention should be paid to cultural heritage tourism as one of the important tourism components that benefit the tourism sector and then the state. This study aims to shed light on the importance of cultural heritage tourism (economic, social, and environmental), supporting and preserving cultural heritage in heritage areas, and increasing the economic, social, and interpersonal return of cultural heritage tourism to local communities, preserving their heritage and preserving their traditions and beliefs. | ||
