The subject of this paper are rules governing protection of world heritage (cultural, natural, common heritage of humankind), on the one hand, and sustainable development on the other. Cultural Heritage and The Common Heritage of Humankind are novel legal tools that have been developed and play a key role in the law of tourism and sustainable development. There are many ways that one state can keep another state from benefiting from its cultural heritage, but international law is there to protect the rights of the host state so that the host can provide travel products and seek sustainable financial gains through tourism. When considering tourism and sustainable development, treaty drafters and legislatures have looked carefully at the products that are produced for touristic purposes; how they are utilized, consumed, reproduced and preserved. Both the needs of the host state and people of that state are reflected in Cultural Heritage law along with its rights, duties, and obligations.
