Abstract

Far from being properly understood, valued, cared for and enjoyed, the cultural heritage, in its tangible and intangible forms, represents a resource that may contribute in a higher extent to the sustainable development of the local communities. Paper presents, from a marketing perspective, the results of an exploratory assessment of the connections between variables describing cultural heritage, tourism and sustainable development, in order to identify ways that may be considered in the capitalization of cultural heritage for supporting the sustainable development.
