The aim is to assess and evaluate tourism and heritage activity in the hinterland of southern France, by contrasting it with that along the seaboard to the front. This is to produce lessons and offer suggestions about suitable general concepts, methods and approaches for tourism in backland areas. The objectives are to show ideas and suggest guidelines for the establishment and conduct of tourism operations in a suitable manner for application in peripheral areas, and to display heritage's role. Peripherality will be discussed as an entity. It will be shown how, in a periphery, tourism may be used for development and regeneration, for delivering economic and social wellbeing, while heritage stewardship and care of the environment are encouraged, and with sustainability as the ideal.
