Heritage Preservation needs Work!
Across the world, the interpretation of Heritage, tangible or intangible, has contrasting narratives attached to it, grounded in differing historical perspectives. By definition, Heritage is the preservation of the past, and nothing is preserved by isolating it within its own community, or factions therein. It should be celebrated, shared and communicated. And economically supported.
Through broad and sensitively managed community engagement in a bottom-up approach, as undertaken by the River Club developers LLPT, provisions for Heritage preservation, development and management can offer many benefits to indigenous stewardship. It also provides sustainable opportunities to allied and broader communities – local, regional, national and international.
Today, research has shown that 37% of global tourism has a cultural motivation and that 57% of global travellers are strongly influenced by history and culture in their choice of holiday destination.
Which brings us, of course, to the thousands of new job opportunities that will be provided to unemployed Capetonians, and the many thousands already employed by Amazon.
Yes. Jobs.
An ancient and sacred tenet of many Indigenous cultures here and around the world is The Seventh Generation Principle:
“Remember the seven generations who came before you, and the 7 generations coming after you – in your words, work and actions.”
Simply put, Heritage Preservation needs Work.
PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY. PROTECT YOUR FUTURE.
