“…The CCF was used to appraise and guide community capacity for current and future tourism development for Canadian aboriginal communities located near ecologically protected areas (Bennett et al 2012); to examine both positive and negative interdependent linkages (spiraling up and down) between tourism, conservation, and community development in Botswana (Stone and Nyaupane 2016); to predict the presence of economic development efforts, such as local business development, recreation and tourism development, and human services in rural Pennsylvania, USA (Zekeri 2013); and to assess how tourism affects an agroecotourism program on an organic urban farm in Cuba (Duffy et al 2017). As a final illustration, CCF was modified to create a conceptual framework of territorial capital to enhance destination competitiveness in rural Tuscany (Tortora, Randelli, and Romei 2014). Each of these studies called attention to the potential for the use of the CCF to expose and explore the interplay of community capitals and therefore facilitate the maximization of resources.…”

This article focuses on the role of built capital as a catalyst for the development of other forms of capital in collective community-based tourism projects. As part of a regional initiative, modest built capital projects were implemented in six small towns in the Appalachian region of North Carolina. To discover how each community was affected, the impacts of these physical changes were documented, evaluated and categorized using Flora's Community Capitals Framework. Over 100 interviews of stakeholders revealed how each project created new social and human capital, improving the community's psyche, fostering confidence, camaraderie, gratification, and a sense of purpose both within and beyond the tourism-based focus. Additional capitals were cultivated, including spin-off projects, increased visitation by tourists, elected official support, and a more entrepreneurial community. Informants overwhelmingly reported that the physical changes acted as a symbol of the cohesiveness created from the community-centered and participatory approach.

“…Putrik (2008) in his study considered tourism as a factor in the preservation of historical heritage and the development of the traditions of regions, noting that about 40 % of tourist flows are caused by cultural motivations. Tortora, Randelli and Romei (2014) comprehensively considered the conceptual basis of the study of the region's tourism potential and determined its composition and components.…”

The aim of the study is to develop theoretic and methodological recommendations and practical activities for the positive social, managerial, organizational and economic development of historical and cultural tourist destinations. In theoretical terms: the role of historical and cultural tourist destination in the development of the region has been established; the historical and cultural tourist destinations have been identified; the author’s classification of historical and cultural tourist destinations has been developed basing tourist visiting activeness; the author’s methodological approach to the diagnosis and creating tools for development of historical and cultural tourist destinations, comprehensively taking into account resource and factor components, has been presented. In practical terms: variations of the activities aimed at the positive development of historical and cultural tourist destinations have been proposed; the description of measures aimed at the creation of a historical and cultural complex on the example of the designed historical and cultural complex “Stara Samar” has been given. The results of the study are applicable for a wide range of historical and cultural tourist attractions: territories, landscapes and elements of landscapes, historical settlements, parks, film studios, historical and cultural heritage sites, history and culture monuments, burial sites, places of worship, sites of social cultural infrastructure. The author’s recommendations provide obtaining commercial results and ensuring a social and cultural effect for businessmen, managers, local communities in the management of existing or in the creation of new historical and cultural tourist destinations.

“…Symbolic capital, as shown in some research, has an impact on economic and social processes, and it can https: //dx.doi.org/10.15405/epsbs.2019.04.72 Corresponding Author: N. G. Fedotova Selection and peer-review under in European studies related to tourism, sometimes you can find the term "the capital of the territory" or "territorial capital", which in its sense is similar to the concept of "symbolic capital of the place". So, the Italian researchers emphasize that territorial capital, based on the uniqueness of the place, makes the territory more attractive for investment (Tortora, Randelli, & Romei, 2014).…”
