Answer:

“A World Heritage Site is a landmark or area, selected by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) for having cultural, historical, scientific or other form of significance, which is legally protected by international treaties. The sites are judged to be important for the collective and preservative interests of humanity. World Heritage Sites do not aim at developing or promoting tourism. However, they can have a great impact on it, both positive and negative. And also world heritage sites create jobs, they promote local activity through arts and craft, they foster tourism, and they generate revenues. Additionally, they promote inter-cultural understanding, tolerance and peace.

Step-by-step explanation:
