Resumo: Tourism is considered a complex socio-economic phenomenon that generates multiple and diverse interactions in the urban and natural environment. In this sense, it is been considered as an alternative generated from the state institutions to promote the local economy of rural-urban areas that have historical and heritage characteristics, where the destination is considered as object of tourist consumption. Such interactions generate not only positive impacts such as economic development, but also other negative effects on the environment, the historical urban landscape and the social, economic and cultural base that the inhabitants maintain with their habitat. In addition to this, the territorial competition of the destinations forces to offer more and more diverse and varied tourist products.
This dynamic generates pressures that lead the destination to devise and deploy new resources and capacities that allow it to adapt to the transformations. This capacity of resilience is built from culture. It is this, which strengthens the evolutionary processes of society and its material transformations; therefore, this capacity of socio-urban resilience of the rural tourist destination will be linked to cultural strengthening and territorial rooting. Around this scenario arise questions about ‘What is the role of culture in the processes of assimilation of new dynamics of transformation generated by tourism in rural destinations with heritage?’ and ‘How does it influence to make these a new favorable learning to society, heritage and territory?’
