Abstract:

The natural and original relationship exists between the protection of non- material cultural heritage and tourism
development. The relationship acts as a foundation of cooperation and also appears a trend of competition. Tourism development provides driving force for the inheriting and the protection of non-material cultural heritage，whereas inappropriate and exceeding use of non-material cultural heritage in the process of tourism development also make intrinsic value and cultural significance of nonmaterial cultural heritage distorted and damaged. Constructing scientific and rational tourism development and a frame of the sustainable protection of non-material cultural heritage becomes the good policy for the coordinated developments of the both issues.

Key words: non-material Cultural Heritage, Tourism Development, Interactive Relationship, Sustainable Development
