Abstract

"World Heritage for Building Peace" by the Fondazione Romualdo Del Bianco’s "Life Beyond Tourism Movement" is the title of the 2019 Appeal that marks the conclusion of a research presented in the Krakow International Cultural Centre the 26 May 2006. By the Life Beyond Tourism Movement: World Heritage Sites takes on the responsibility of "Awareness Centers” to widespread a new sensitivity and a consequent new cultural and commercial offer with different ethic; World Heritage Sites’ management not only protects and enhances the heritage, but favors the 'International Community' encouraging the world-wide exercise of intercultural dialogue between visitors in the same place, same time, same aptitude to listening, promoting a virtuosos synergy between the UNESCO Conventions 1972, 2003, 2005; World Heritage Sites could experiment the post-pandemic reverse of the hitherto prevalent degrade of the travel experience. This new cultural and commercial offer relies upon world scale 'knowledge initiatives', transforming the hasty tourist into a ‘Temporary Resident’ induced to a deep knowledge of the place, its wonders, culture, traditions, thus favoring friendship, mutual respect and peace.
