INTRODUCTION
.
Tourism, the worlds largest industry, is essential to a
communitys economic vitality, sustainability, and profitability.
In Georgia, tourism is the states second largest
industry and heritage tourism is its fastest-growing segment.
Georgia is among the top 10 states in the country
in heritage tourism visitation. More travelers than ever
are walking the historic streets of Savannah . . . visiting
the remnants of Native American culture . . . exploring
antebellum plantations . . . learning about the Civil
Rights Movement . . . and discovering agricultural history
around the state.
.
The historic and cultural resources associated with
people, events, or aspects of a communitys past give
that community its sense of identity and help tell its
story. These resources are the most tangible reflections
of a communitys heritage. History can and should be
used as a selling point for a community. The recognition
of an areas historic resources can bring about neighborhood
revitalization, increased and sustainable tourism,
economic development through private investment, and
citizenship building. When communities travel-related
entities partner with public or private organizations, the
historic, cultural, and natural resources are more effectively
promoted to meet the heritage travelers desire for
an integrated and enriching experience.
.
