Sommario/riassunto

<P>Under the aegis of the term 'dialogues', <EM>Heritage and Tourism</EM><STRONG> </STRONG>reconsiders the heritage/tourism interaction in ways that encourage reflection about the various communicative acts between heritage places and their visitors and the ways these are currently theorized, so as to either step beyond - where possible - the ontological distinctions between heritage places and tourists or to re-imagine the dialogue or both. </P>
