Dear MEL Topic Readers,
These are the new UNESCO World Heritage Sites
World Heritage Sites are designated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) for having cultural, historical, scientific or other form of significance. To be included on the World Heritage List, sites must be of outstanding universal value and meet at least one out of ten selection criteria. Once listed, the site gains international recognition and legal protection, and can obtain funds from the World Heritage Fund to facilitate its conservation. In July, UNESCO voted to add 34 new spots, 29 cultural and 5 natural sites, on the list, making the total to 1,120. In the meantime, they decided to remove Liverpool, an English city, from the list because of the impact of new building development. Once listed, the country is obliged to conserve the value of the site.
As soon as the Covid pandemic over, these newly inscribed sites will be visited by tourists from the world. Fortunately, or unfortunately, those hosting countries and communities seem to have enough time for planning and preparation.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about the newly selected World Heritage sites.
