• Resumen

  • The authors present an example of the impact of a cultural heritage site on its environment - in this case, the Alhambra and Generalife complex (AG) in Granada, Spain, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. They then quantify the impact and analyse the effects by sector, including a brief explanation of the methodology. The results show that tourism exercises strong push-pull effects through vigorous intersector relationships.
