Introduction:
Whilst heritage tourism has increased awareness of certain minority groups and offered new opportunities, the “interpretation of heritage is often sensitive and controversial Smith (2009 pg 20) conflicts can often arise due to the fact that the ‘approach of heritage organisations is to protect and preserve, while the overriding aim of tourism is to be profitable.’ Boyd (2000 p211) This essay attempts to examine three overriding issues affecting the World Heritage Site Newgrange, “This is Europe’s largest and most important concentration of prehistoric megalithic art. The monuments there had, social, economic, religious and funerary function” Fowler (2003 p98) Whilst there are many potential issues, time and volume constraints associated with this essay resulted in the author limiting the scope of the essay to cover; the conservation preservation of Newgrange, limiting visitor numbers and the stakeholders involved.
Defining culture is a difficult if not impossible task as opinions vary widely on what constitutes culture, and the meaning of culture varies from theorist to theorists and society to society. “Culture is like a black box which we know is there but not what it contains Hofstede (2003 p27)
