Résumé en anglais

In Africa, and probably the world over, cultural and natural heritage resources have primarily been conserved and packaged as a tourist product for their tangible values, those values that could easily be captured on camera and described on the tourism market. Often, this is done without consideration for the intangible values attached to such resources by the native communities that have lived side by side with them and have preserved them for many centuries. Most of these heritage resources have been preserved by the natives for so many centuries not for profit, buts trictly for the intangible value they attach to them. For them it is a moral responsibility passed on through tradition from one generation to the next. By recommendation of various studies, the intangible value of our heritage has in the past decade or so began to be appreciated as an integral part that is in fact today being used in the presentation and interpretation of these heritage resources to tourists. The challenge for us professionals in conservation is, therefore, to manage and package heritage for tourism while avoiding compromising the authenticity of the relationship between the native community and the heritage resource.
