Preserving the Past, Building the Future: The Role of Adaptive Heritage Reuse in Achieving SDGs Through Tourism

Mohammed, Ahmad

Abstract

Cultural heritage is recognized as a crucial element in building a sustainable environment that contributes to sustainable economic growth. Adaptive heritage reuse (AHR) is seen not only as a means to safeguard and maintain heritage, but also as a driver for achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) and promoting sustainable economic growth. However, AHR faces several challenges, including inflexible heritage legislation, lack of clear definitions, financial risks, and the complexity of heritage systems. Despite these challenges, AHR holds great potential for driving sustainable economic growth and SDGs. AHR has been increasingly adopted in the tourism and hospitality sectors in both developed and developing countries, but research in this area is still in its infancy.
