Salzedas/S. João De Tarouca as a Possible UNESCO Cultural Tourism Nomination
The aim of this paper is to promote a territory of high cultural value, Salzedas/S. João de Tarouca, based on the historical heritage of a monastic community and its role for wine and agricultural production and cultural tourism. Similar to what already exists for the neighboring Douro Region, it is proposed that the study area can be classified as a UNESCO world heritage site. The paper discusses the conditions that make Salzedas/S. João de Tarouca suitable for a similar classification and the creation of synergies with Douro Region. The elements that make it possible to suggest such a distinction include religious architecture with tourist interest illustrating the role of the Cistercian community in local and regional agricultural know-how; Ucanha wine-growing village, bearing witness to a wine-growing tradition; distinctive elements of civil architecture; a fortified tower and bridge, unique in the Iberian Peninsula. The added value of the paper’s empirical research is in promoting the local cultural characteristics for tourism development based on bibliographic research and local stakeholder’s interviews questionnaire.
