1) Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows from question
Heritage is presently an expanding notion, including within its content diverse cultural, historical, architectural,
archaeological, local, natural and geological values. Although in the past the meaning of heritage was restricted to a
particular work of art or a singular historical monument, in the course of time, groups of buildings, architectural assets,
urban and rural areas, archaeological remains, historic sites, cultural landscapes, ancient gardens, vernacular heritage and
intangible values have also been added into the frame of the concept. Therefore, the meaning of the concept has been
broadened and consequently, the value that is given to the concept of heritage has increased since the second half of the
twentieth century.
The category of cultural routes is also evolving under the expanding frame of heritage, broadening its scope in many
countries. This recently developing category is usually regarded as an evidence and base of interactive, dynamic and
continually evolving process of intercultural relationships. Therefore, it can be said that the concept of cultural routes
reflects different cultures, beliefs and life styles from different periods of time.
‘‘The consideration of cultural routes as a new concept or category does not conflict nor overlap with other categories or
types of cultural properties ‐ monuments, cities, cultural landscapes, individual heritage etc. ‐ that may exist within the
orbit of a given cultural route. It simply includes them within a joint system which enhances their significance.’’
As also stated in the ICOMOS charter on cultural routes, cultural routes as continuous and shared systems synthesize diverse
heritage elements and / or sub‐sites through cultural landscapes together with the cultural, historical, symbolic, functional
and economic values as intangibles by linking and integrating them in an interdisciplinary and mutual framework. Although
the meanings and constituents of cultural routes have not yet been properly defined, there are several developing
viewpoints on the subject in both national and international circles and literature, numerous meetings, organizations and
conferences have been arranged and many studies were carried out by researchers from different fields in order to discuss
and clarify the term.
The concept of cultural routes, although not dubbed as such from the beginning, has been discussed since 1960s especially
with the help of the collaborative efforts of ICOMOS, UNESCO and council of Europe in the forms of reports that attract
attention to collective awareness about the most important cultural sites of Europe and their incorporation in the culture of
leisure through cultural journeys.

1) Read the passage carefully and answer the question that follow:
The Mekong sub region comprises Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam and Yunnan as a tourism rich region with
untapped tourism resources due to the World War ‐ II and American anti‐communist warfare. However, Thailand could
emerge as an industrial country for its integration with global capitalist system until 1980s for development of tourism
through foreign direct investment. Tourism could ultimately bring huge foreign exchange and generate income and
employment. The country witnessed an increase in tourist arrivals from one million to ten millions annually over the last 20
years. The adoption of path of socialism during colonial times had put restriction on travel and not given thrust to building
tourism infrastructure.
In view of the success of tourism development in Thailand, other Mekong nations reformed their economies through tourism
after the collapse of socialistic block in the late 1980s, Thus, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) initiated the greater
Mekong sub‐region (GMS) Scheme to boost regional tourism. Further, the creation of ‘‘Growth triangles’’ with focus on

tourism development found a prominent place in the ASEAN region. The regions excludes China as a member and declared
2002 as ‘‘visit ASEAN year’’ under the theme ASEAN‐Asia’s perfect to paradise. The Mekong River commission and United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP) planned for tourism development by giving protection to environment and culture
in 1995.
In 1993, the Quadrangle for Economic Cooperation (QEC) was formed by a group of Thai business investors to promote
tourism in the border areas of Thailand, Laos, Burma and Yunnan. The QEC included the establishment of tourism
enterprises and ‘‘model cultural villages’’ catering to adventurous “eco‐tourists’’.
