Emerging issues for cultural tourism in Macau
Recent research on achieving sustainable heritage tourism in Macau advocates a greater collaboration between tourism and heritage management authorities and the local community on reaching sustainable tourism goals. A key theme for Macau in the last ten years has been how the tension between the proponents for greater casino development versus those for cultural heritage product development has played out in government policies for heritage management, private sector tourism development and host community concerns about heritage protection and achieving quality tourism. The indirect influence of the central government on Macau Special Administrative Region's (SAR's) policy development in relation to these topics in the last ten years will be discussed in this context using findings from three recent studies by the Institute For Tourism Studies (IFT) and background information collected on government policy and community views. This paper will outline emerging issues regarding demand, supply, and impacts of cultural tourism with reference to findings from four recent research projects. Special reference will be made to over-use and under-use issues, authenticity, and the management of tourism impacts while enhancing visitor experience. Strategic planning and management of cultural tourism products will also be touched upon.Jüngste Forschungen zum Kultur- und Denkmal-Tourismus in Macau haben ergeben, dass einer stärkeren Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Verwaltungsbereichen Tourismus und Denkmalpflege sowie den lokalen Gemeinden große Bedeutung zukommt, um eine nachhaltige Förderung der Tourismus zu erzielen

A tale of two cities : how tourism development is treated in Yangon and Macau's urban heritage planning
The General Conference of UNESCO directly linked the underlying principles of the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) approach to the adoption of the Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape in November 2011. It has been hailed as ‘a new way to include all these aspects of conservation in an integrated framework’ (Bandarin and Van Oers 2012: xvi). As this current volume explores the awareness about the HUL approach and its implementation in Asia, this chapter discusses two case studies – Yangon in Myanmar and Macau in China. These cases show how tourism becomes a key stakeholder and protagonist heavily influencing the implementation of this concept in urban heritage planning of postcolonial cities. The chapter contrasts the recently developed Yangon Heritage Strategy with urban heritage conservation planning initiatives in Macau, SAR China – another postcolonial heritage city in Asia. The chapter also explores how, despite strong links back to Europe and other Western countries (such as Australia), much of the cultural heritage management practice in these two places has developed along different lines, strongly influenced by local socio-political and economic considerations
