Approach to transformative tourism & visitor management

The following sets out an integrated, participatory & adaptive approach to transformative tourism and visitor management for heritage protection and community resilience.

The theory of change rests upon three independent but interconnected pillars:

UNESCOs Visitor Management & Strategy Tool (VMAST)

>> improving the benefits of tourism through strategic visitor management

Monitoring > Improved understanding

Budgeted activities > Feasible ambitions

Communication > Improved outreach

Capacity development > Strengthened capacities

Collaboration > Increased impact

Word Heritage Exchange Trading Systems (WHETS)

>> improving provisioning through moneyless trade and exchange

Mutual credit > Means of exchange

Credit clearing > Reducing the need for money and banks

Use-credit obligations and capacity vouchers > Means of storing value

Credit commons > For scaling

World Heritage Autonomous Organisation (WHAO)

>> improving participatory and/or polycentric governance through decentralised technology

Circles > Collaborative problem solving

Tokenomics > Rewarding contributions

Tokenomics > Voting power and inclusive decision making

Blockchain > Transparency

Credit commons > Nested institutions
