Abstract

The objective of this article is to identify and systematize the evidence available in the international literature about research experiences on the incidence of tourism in UNESCO World Heritage sites. A total of 178 contributions have been identified that address the issue in a general way and through case studies, both in consolidated and emerging destinations. The methodology used was based on the technique of content analysis, systematizing it around seven variables and analyzing whether the incidence of tourism was considered positive or negative. This has made it possible, on the one hand, to observe the evolution of tourism in these sites and, on the other hand, to identify the fields of knowledge that should be addressed in future research.
