ICAHM (ICOMOS’ International Committee on Archaeological Heritage Management) is pleased to announce its international conference on archaeological heritage management, to be held in historic Cuzco, Peru on November 27-30 of this year. Registration is now open. Abstracts should be submitted via the website.

Among the worldwide issues for consideration at this meeting are local stakeholder claims on archaeological heritage; sustainable development and community sustainability; tourism pressures and site preservation; heritage and rights; challenges to the validity and value of the World Heritage List as it quickly approaches 1,000 inscribed sites; the World Heritage List decision-making process; impacts of war, civil disorder, and natural disasters on archaeological sites; technical advances in archaeological heritage management.

While in Peru, you’ll have ample opportunities for tours of Cuzco, Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley before and after the conference; please see our informational flier about the conference and its surroundings attached to this email and contact Happy Tours at tours for tour options.
