Resumo: In recent years, we are witnessing two contradictory facts about intangible cultural tourism: the tourist widespread growth in elements that are internationally recognized (of those that have the UNESCO seal) and, on the contrary, assets that are in disuse and in danger of extinction. This last case is the subject of our investigation.
Salt has been an indispensable element for its nutritional, cultural and economic values. In the province of Huelva there were many artisan salt pans. However, these salt pans have been closed, leaving only one currently active. We intend to show how new tourism can activate this immaterial heritage at risk.
