Heritage Tourism and Rameswaram Island

Heritage is the full range of inherited traditions, monuments, objects, and culture of a particular place or region. It is the range of contemporary activities, meanings, and behaviours that we draw from them. Heritage includes preserving, excavating, displaying, or restoring a collection of old things. It is both tangible and intangible, in the sense that ideas and memories–of songs, recipes, language, dances, and many other elements of who we are and how we identify ourselves–are as important as historical buildings and archaeological sites. It can be considered to be made up of the practices and traditions that are passed on from parents to children, but it also has to do with what has been passed on from the family, community and place where people have been raised.
