Abstract (EN): This proposal will use Porto’s Historic Centre (UNESCO World Heritage since 1996) to reflect on the relation between heritage and tourism, namely on the threats and the opportunities it faces, as well as on the strategies and tools available for more reliable information and dissemination, and for the preservation of its authenticity, which makes it a differentiator destination of cultural tourism.
