A couple of suggestions for you. Karen Ida Peterson of Davidson-Peterson
Associates, York, ME, gives a great (research-based) presentation on making
history more interesting for visitors.
Amy Jordan Webb of the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Heritage
Tourism program gives a good overview of Heritage Tourism and authenic
success stories.
Debbie Geiger from Geiger & Associates gives a motivating talk about how
heritage tourism can be marketed in an authentic and sensitive manner to
visitors.
Also, there is a heritage tourism discussion group which has about 120 or so
participants right now. Not as active as Museum-L but good threads when
items are posted. I'll post this to the list.
