Abstract:The future world heritage management system may face two alternatives, which debate on the governmental direct involvement in heritage tourism. This study reveals the necessity that the private sector should have a part to play in reinvigorating heritage tourism. Author proves, using the club goods model, the possibility that the private sector may benefit the heritage tourism economy. Price bottom line defined by the government, in author's view, can be a card to regulate operators' commercial irrationality in running the heritage tourism.
