Tourism as Economic Development Tourism Product Development Resource Team Tourism is one of the world’s largest industries and is essential to a community’s economic vitality, sustainability, and profitability. In Georgia, tourism is the state’s second most important industry and heritage tourism is its fastestgrowing segment. Georgia is among the top 10 states in the country in heritage tourism visitation. More travelers than ever are walking the historic i streets t of Savannah . . . visiting iti the remnants of Native American culture . . . exploring antebellum plantations . . . learning about the Civil Rights Movement . . . and discovering agricultural history around the state. The historic and cultural resources associated with people, events, or aspects of a community’s past give that community its sense of identity and help tell its story. These resources are the most tangible reflections of a community’s heritage. History can and should be used as a selling point for a community. The recognition of an area’s historic resources can bring about neighborhood revitalization, increased and sustainable tourism, economic development through private investment, and citizenship building. When communities’ travel-related entities partner with public or private organizations, the historic, cultural, and natural resources are more effectively promoted to meet the heritage traveler’s desire for an integrated and enriching experience. 5
