Is cultural heritage a burden on or a contributor to economic growth? The statistics in a report indicate that the contribution fromcultural heritage to economic growth is eight times as many as theinvestment in its protection and management.
The profit from cultural heritage is realized mainly throughtourism and auction of cultural relics, according to the report. Thefact that over 50% of the profit is from tourism sends a message thatsome cultural heritages can be a stable source of income for a localeconomy. What's more, the industry based on it is environment-friendly.
However, not all cultural heritages make money. And they doso only when they are protected and managed well. They must bepresented to visitors as they are, and should never be used only as asource of profit.
There are examples that some local governments unnecessarilybuild fake (假的）cultural heritages with the intention of adding tothe cultural connotation (内涵）of the real heritage. The result ismostly a strange mix in which the value of the real one is lost in theglitter of the fake.
The more a cultural heritage is treated as it is, the more profitable it is. This is becoming increasingly true. This is becausepeople's aesthetic judgment has been improving with their rising living standards. They want to see the real things, well-preserved realobjects of cultural interest, and they want to learn something throughvisiting a cultural heritage site.
