Abstract


Given the recent declaration of the Ribeira Sacra as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (2021), the purpose of the research is to present actions for the conservation and tourist management of said natural and cultural heritage, preventing impacts such as the fire of last month of September. To carry out this work, we apply a qualitative methodology with an empirical approach. In addition to the improvement of the interpretation, we summarize the heritage restoration and the preservation of the environment among the main findings. From socio-economic management, we tackle research projects, the dissemination of this inland destination and codes to fight depopulation. These results contrast with the studies on the monuments and sustainable resources of the complex. Among the conclusions, the research offers a complete vision of the interpretation, tourism and conservation of the Sacred Bank, to achieve its definitive recognition as World Heritage.
