“…Perceived risks or anxiety can influence tourists to avoid specific regions or cities. Still, travelers might drop visiting such places due to past unpleasant experiences, novelty-seeking behaviors ( Sharifpour et al, 2014 ; Wong et al, 2014 ; García-Villaverde et al, 2021 ; Halder and Sarda, 2021 ), or their cultural orientations ( Reisinger and Mavondo, 2006 ; Cuomo et al, 2021 ). From the perspective of the tourism supply side, the previous studies on the travel and tourism industry have taken crises and pandemics as a dominant theme, as it affects tourists’ psychology and mental health at a large scale worldwide.…”

“…Promoting public awareness and appreciation for the historical significance of these sites is crucial in securing support for their preservation. Educational programs, guided tours, and informative signage at the sites can enhance visitors' understanding of the cultural heritage (Halder & Sarda, 2021). Additionally, utilizing digital platforms and social media can reach a wider audience, both domestically and internationally, creating a broader awareness of these cultural treasures.…”

The cultural heritage of Hindu sites in Punjab, Pakistan, represents a tapestry of ancient civilizations, architectural brilliance, and religious significance. The region is home to a diverse array of ancient Hindu sites that hold immense value as religious centers and markers of South Asia's rich cultural past. Understanding the historical context of these sites is essential to formulate effective conservation strategies. This study aims to assess the historical importance and conservation potential of these sites to provide insights into preserving their rich cultural legacy. To achieve the objectives, qualitative secondary data analysis was employed. It includes an extensive literature review of historical sources, archaeological records, and scholarly works on the cultural heritage of Hindu sites in Punjab. Through a thematic literature review, the results of the study highlight the cultural syncretism and pluralism evident in the architectural features and artistic expressions found at these sites. However, it also reveals significant challenges, such as inadequate funding, urbanization, lack of public awareness, and environmental threats, contributing to their deterioration and neglect. The revitalization of the cultural heritage of Hindu sites in Punjab is of paramount importance to preserve the region's rich history and promote interfaith harmony and cultural diversity. The study recommends collaborative efforts involving various stakeholders to allocate sufficient funding, raise public awareness, and implement sustainable conservation measures. By celebrating the diverse cultural heritage of Punjab through these historical treasures, the region can foster a sense of pride, identity, and unity among its communities.

A total of 417 intangible cultural heritage objects (ICHOs) are intertwined with traditional Chinese art, showcasing China’s rich historical heritage and distinctive creative allure. However, ICHOs currently grapple with a significant succession quandary due to modernization endeavors and the impacts of globalization. Hence, this study scrutinizes the spatial distribution of ICHO projects and inheritors and examines methodologies for inheriting these 417 ICHOs, employing approaches such as the closest neighbor index, Moran’s I index, kernel density estimation, geographic concentration analysis, and imbalance index assessment. Research indicates that ICHOs exhibit a spatial aggregation pattern, yet there is no substantial spatial correlation observed in their distribution. The national distribution highlights two core density zones: Beijing and Shanghai. In China, ICHO programs display uneven distribution across various types, levels, regions, and cultural zones. Regarding the ethnic composition of projects and inheritors, ICHO projects predominantly focus on the Han ethnic group, with a scattering of minority representations. Minority ICHO projects and inheritors are concentrated in central and eastern areas, while Han ICHO projects and inheritors are concentrated in central and western regions. Among the 148 ICHO projects lacking inheritors, 203 have one inheritor, and only 66 have several inheritors. Shanghai serves as the core density zone for 269 ICHO projects with inheritors, while Beijing holds that status for 148 ICHO projects without inheritors. Out of the 148 ICHO projects lacking inheritors, 115 belong to the Han ethnic group, with 33 split among 16 different ethnic minorities, and 2 have no inheritors. These disparities underscore the uneven distribution of ICHO projects and the critical issue of inheritance. This study identified education, tourism, digital communication, incentivizing inheritors, and international cooperation as potential strategies for preserving ICHA. Moreover, a sustainable inheritance pathway integrating government, education, tourism, and media is imperative for the effective perpetuation of ICHOs’ legacy.
