Make a list of the most outstanding cultural tourism resources in your area.
Check your list with tourism authorities and professionals. Is there any relevant
information missing? Have you taken into account both tangible and intangible cultural
elements?
Do some field work and research and check your list again. Try to find some
elements not yet listed or exploited but that can be used for tourism purposes.
For example, an old farming cart that could be used to transporting tourists or
a beautiful sample of traditional tiling within a farmhouse or particular cellar.
Group the items in your list into any of the seven categories defined in this
chapter.
Create your own template for resource inventorying by adapting the example
offered in this manual.
Fill in the templates for the most important resources in your area. Remember
to look for information “on the spot” apart from doing it from books
or brochures.
Check your template and the filled in files with tourism experts or professionals
in your area. If there is important information missing try to find out if there
is a pattern in it and correct it accordingly.
