Many communities across the world are interested in expanding, preserving, and managing their heritage resources. This process is often complex and takes time and the proper tools to accomplish these goals.

This Heritage Tourism Toolkit is a package of practical tools that communities or groups can use to develop, manage, and protect their heritage resources.

People have used these tools and resources in communities across the nation.

Each category, tool, or resource is introduced with a brief explanation, which will help you decide which tool or resource would be most useful for your goal or task at hand.

A new toolkit for communities!

Our new Prospering Places Toolkit is an indispensable guide for communities wanting to make the most of their heritage resources.

It includes the best of our Heritage Tourism Toolkit and much more. Going beyond just tourism, the Prospering Places Toolkit covers:

• Funding
• Planning and development
• Partnership agreements
• Preservation strategies
• Revitalization strategies
• And the best outside resources we could find!

We want your input! Please contact Kristen Rogers if you have some suggestions for the Prospering Places Toolkit.

Note: The Heritage Tourisim Toolkit will remain online for a while, but eventually the Prospering Places Toolkit will replace it.
