In this lecture, Prof Gantemur will discuss culture and cultural identity, heritage and heritage management focused on the nomad people centered harmonical interaction between the pasture, animal, and movement as the nomad cultural landscape, which creates a comfort zone of the heritage-center and out-there-ness of the transition. Within the discussion of tourism and culture management, the following issues will be addressed: cultural heritage as a tourist attraction; host-guest and tourist culture; cultural identity and authenticity; cultural commoditization and creative industry management. Finally, he will discuss some examples in Mongolian cultural heritage and tourism management actions, such as Taimen Conservation Fund (role of stakeholder cooperation), Cultural Heritage Management System by Rio Tinto Mining Group (funding mechanism), Bayanzag Local Community Network (role of education), and Shaman- Festival Event (spiritual enhancement).
