The house is architecturally significant because it is one of the last examples of a simple, two- storey stone house on the gold fields. It was built in two sections, the single storey being built in 1856 had a symmetrical front facade of local coursed sandstone rubble and dressings to openings. The second section being built in 1861 was built to match the earlier part of the house with the same materials being used. Across the first floor there is an elegantly detailed cantilevered timber balcony with a hipped concave roof and with two French windows opening into it. Cantilevered balconies used to be common in Bendigo, but they are now rare, thus giving the people of Bendigo a visual of how buildings have changed throughout the years, making it a significant part of history. Along with the architectural significance is the historical significance, as it is among the few that was documented as being run as a brothel in the nineteenth century. Again this building is not an Antique or a Shrine as it is a piece of vital evidence about the past, and how houses were built and what materials were mainly used in past times which also demonstrates the evolution of Australia’s

Tourism can be one of the most destructive forces facing archaeological sites and their conservators. Tourists can cause damage by disregarding signs prohibiting touching or littering. Parts of sites may need to be manipulated or even destroyed to allow for visitor access. Striking a balance between allowing the public to interact with a site and preserving it is very difficult. Some sites, like Bet She’an in Israel, give tourists the freedom to touch monuments and even climb onto them to give the visitors authentic experiences, despite the damage it causes. Others, like Pompeii in Italy, keep tourists within certain bounds to protect the sites. This paper examines the advantages and disadvantages of replicating archaeological sites as

The topic of the essay will look into the increase in popularity and rejuvenation of the seaside town of Blackpool in the north-west of England. Various factors played a role in the growth in popularity for visiting Blackpool. The popularity of Blackpool will be compared to the gradual decline of the destination.

The remains of one such Roman architectural achievement, was unearthed in Durrës, Albania in 1966 (Bowes and Mitchell, 2009:570; Bowes et al., 2003:381; Ponce de Leon, 2013:3; UNESCO, 2004:34). The Roman amphitheater happens to be the largest in the Balkans, and contains several frescos, which helped to track Christianity as it spread throughout the region (Jacques, 1995:154; Ponce de Leon, 2013:3). Currently this remarkable stadium is “under consideration” from UNESCO as a World Heritage site. Unfortunately, the impact of urban sprawl, Albania’s poor economy, and time, are not helping to maintain this cultural relic.

Due to the fact that building a tourist destination requires lots of resources, especially the soft and hard infrastructure of a destination which are relatively important to a destination in terms of its attractiveness to tourist, proper tourism planning had to be done beforehand in order to deliver such infrastructures. Especially iconic buildings which required a certain amount of time in order to be completed, usually required large amount of planning in order to assure the infrastructures are to be completed in time in order to fit into the timeline of the project and whole master plan. It is therefore crucial in delivering the infrastructure in the stipulated timeline of the destination in order to accommodate to the tourist.

Through an examination of the visitors’ appreciation for the site and an analysis of the preservation issues of Hosios Loukas Monastery, I hope that I can offer an insight into the current attitude of Greek authorities about cultural heritage management, especially for living sites, as this monastery is.
