Abstract
Recent studies in tourism have focused on multidimensional relationships among the performance of various actors, tourismrelated institutions, infrastructure, media, and other factors, in which tourism is considered a process where a specific image materializes in practice. In this regard, tourism is a future-oriented practice in that a new reality can be created through tourism. Meanwhile, studies of heritage have come to view it as a social process, in which tangible and intangible traces of the past are recognized as having significance as heritage. As heritage is preserved for the benefit of future generations, heritage generates the future. Taking the relationship between tourism and heritage into account as an interaction in which tourism generates heritage and heritage produces tourism leads to exploring how tourism and heritage as future-making practices intersect and what realities consequently arise. This paper examines the characteristics of tourism and heritage as practices creating the future, and it shows how their interactions bring about changes in local communities, using the development of the tourism industry and the conservation and utilization of archaeological sites in the Mediterranean region of Turkey as case studies.
