Abstract
The tourism product has been described as the amalgam of all activities, involved in by a tourist in the process of his journey. A “Tourist Package” includes attractions, facilities, transportation etc. The aims of this review are, first, to investigate the potentials of architectural heritage in the context of tourism destination development, secondly, to appraise the outcome of preservation and its implications for tourism. The review is an effort to explore and understand the interrelationships between tourism and architectural heritage sites through tourist image and perception. A mixed research method is utilized to gauge tourists' image/perception of heritage resources, and impact. Findings revealed that architectural heritage resources have the most appeal to tourists. The study to date demonstrates the architectural value and tourist and preservation potential of the buildings observed.
