In this paper we are studying the fundamental aspects of natural and cultural heritage, placing special emphasis on its management. Cultural heritage management is a challenge for all countries, either developed countries or developing countries, in order to promote values and particular specifics in the international arena, as well as to help the country's economic development. Management phases, which are included in all areas of social life, can also be applied in tourism, thus proving the universality of management. The maintenance of cultural and natural heritage sites is based on international Conventions and Charters, national legislation, as well as traditions of different countries.
