Résumé en anglais
This paper presents a mid term progress report on a groundbreaking project that is at the very heart of how ICOMOS protects and
transmits the tangible and intangible values of heritage places and thecommunities who sustain them. The 18 month UNESCO World
Heritage Centre project brings together the conservation and tourismsectors to generate shared and sustainable policies, guidelines and
methods to ensure that tourism activities contribute to the protectionand conservation of World Heritage sites. For the first time, a number
of major international agencies including UN World TourismOrganisation (UNWTO), ICOMOS, IUCN, ICCROM, The Nature
Conservancy and the World Bank have joined UNESCO andrepresentatives of the Tourism Private Sector to craft common tourism
and visitor management principles. These will be used by allparticipants to improve the management of tourism at World Heritage
sites. Such sites will become best practice exemplars for other heritageplaces throughout the world. This is a project of great importance for
ICOMOS as it considers ways to protect and enhance the Spirit ofPlace from increasing tourism pressures at heritage places.
