Its activities and services which provide international and domestic visitors with the opportunity to experience understand and enjoy the special values of a region’s heritage, are sometimes referred to as heritage tourism. (Lorton Consulting)

(Boyd, 2003)
Various provinces in the Philippines use Heritage Tourism to attract potential tourists to visit their community where they showcase heritage attractions and destinations in the province. Heritage Tourism has formed part of what is known as special interest travel. (Boyd, 2003) As many tourists arrive in the heritage tourism destinations, it gives the community economic benefits.

2. Social significance: It is the personal and collective identity that people and society have with ‘their’ heritage. This will drive the people to preserve the sites in the first place. Heritage can also determine a sense of place. It can create a way for people to be attached to the area which results to maintain the sense of place.
