La educación y el turismo como herramientas clave para la preservación de los recursos patrimoniales de Sant Joan d'Alacant

Abstract

The purpose of this script is to present a digital tool for the publication of the main heritage resources of the town of Sant Joan d�Alacant. That is the Web page of the Department of Tourism www.turismosantjoan. es. The mentioned portal aims to incorporate Sant Joan d�Alacant to the tourist market of the Costa Blanca, but also aspires to become an instrument that helps us to develop an appreciation for its natural resources, so that citizenship education will become a fundamental tool for the preservation of heritage assets. The contents of that website are product of an extensive fieldwork organized by the Alicante Office of Landscape Architecture and Asset Managemenet Calidoscopi Estudio. The company has coordinated the collaboration among several departments of the municipal authority along with numerous local civil associations and individuals committed to the culture of Sant Joan d�Alacant.
