Cultural & Historic Resources

  What is the general situation with these ISSUES?

  • Most buildings declared as national monuments are occupied by private owners, who often find it difficult and costly to maintain them.
  • Significant threats to our national cultural heritage and assets include neglect, lack of funds and development prior to full surveys or rescue excavations.
  • The high costs of maintaining national heritage sites could be met by earnings from the tourism sector.
