As a good look around almost any city or town will show, people are often tempted to provide a quick fix of “band-aid” solution—to cover up an old storefront inexpensively, for example, rather than to restore it. But when your historic and cultural assets are at the heart of your plans to develop tourism, it’s essential to protect them for the long term.

Hearts break when irreplaceable structures are destroyed or damaged beyond repair, instead of preserved and protected as they deserve. A plaque pointing out “on this site a great building once stood” can’t tell that story.

Equally tragic is the loss of traditions: a way of crafting wood or farming, of celebrating holidays or feasting on “old world” cuisine. The preservation and perpetuation of traditions is important to telling the story of the people who settled the land. By protecting the buildings, landscape or special places and qualities that attract visitors, you safeguard the future.
