vital component of the local development process. Three accounts from LEADER officials.
Heritage Trails
"Building heritage, small heritage, landscapes..."

Putting heritage to work in Friesland (Netherlands):
this flat country of ours
Friesland is turning to new activities to ensure a serene future. The identity and
rich heritage of this region, its proximity to
major urban centres mean considerable possibilities for the development of cultural tourism
A tale of "eleven cities"
Heritage at the heart of the development of Barbagia-Baronie (Sardinia, Italy):
winning back the interior
The development of tourism on the coast tends to weaken the hinterland of Sardinia.
Taking advantage of its natural, cultural and historic heritage could help reverse the trend by attracting
holiday-makers inland and by supplying the coast with local products of high quality.
