THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE
INTRODUCTION
Rationale of the Study
With the growing popularity of adventure tourism and urban modernity, the cultural heritage sites that served as an important site to visit because of its relation to the past has been left behind. A key aspect in discussing this topic is to understand the difference between conservation and development and applying it as one for tourism attraction development and site management. Conservation, according to Moses Wafula Mapesa, is the deliberate act of keeping heritage from the present to and for the future. It is an ethic act of resource use, allocation, and protection. It is the act of preventing injury, decay, waste of loss of both natural and cultural heritage. It may also refer to the careful utilization of a natural resource in order to prevent depletion and the preservation and restoration of works of cultural significance. Development is the act or process of growing or causing something to grow or become
