Sara Sampieri just published her last paper, “Tourism Development through the Sense of UNESCO World Heritage: The Case of Hegra, Saudi Arabia,” co-authored with Abdellah Saoualih, Larbi Safaa, Fernando Martinez de Carnero Calzada, Marco Ramazzotti, and Agustín Martínez-Peláez, on Sustainability. The study delves into the intersection of cultural heritage, tourism, and modern analytical techniques, offering new insights into tourism development at UNESCO World Heritage sites, focusing on Hegra in Saudi Arabia.
The research suggests that leveraging the sense of place and visitor sentiments is crucial in this balancing act. By aligning tourism strategies with the emotional and experiential needs of visitors, we can foster a deeper connection between them and the heritage site, leading to more meaningful and sustainable tourism practices.
