This edited volume explores developing practice in the public presentation of the World Heritage of the Roman frontiers. Written by leading European practitioners the emphasis is on developing experiences that are visitor focused rather than academic, whilst respecting authenticity. The originality of the book lies in this visitor-centric approach and in the combination of strategic and operational examples from one strategic area of interest - the World Heritage of the Roman frontiers. This enables the reader to make comparisons between different approaches and solutions. The book covers three main areas of interest: strategic planning and policy, practical applications and issues of authenticity and public perception. The book will interest researchers, teachers and practitioners across different parts of the world in fields including heritage management and interpretation, cultural tourism, visitor studies and museology.Preface by René Ployer, one of the three authors who developed and wrote the Thematic Study and Proposed World Heritage Nomination Strategy for the Frontiers of the Roman Empire.
