This Special Issue on Heritage Tourism and Sustainable City Dynamics explores the intersection of cultural heritage, tourism, and sustainability through twelve diverse articles. These contributions address themes such as post-COVID-19 resilience in the hotel sector, environmentally responsible behaviour in heritage tourism, and innovative frameworks for urban heritage management. Case studies span globally significant sites, including the Spanish Civil War anti-aircraft shelters, earthen architecture in the Iberian Peninsula, A Plan to Safeguard the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Guano's Knotted Carpet Weaving Tradition in Ecuador, and Norwegian World Heritage Sites. Articles also examine green tourism's impact on community attachment in AlUla, Saudi Arabia, the economic role of Raymi Llaqta in Peru, and visitor satisfaction at Cordoba's Fiesta de los Patios. Global analyses investigate the comparative advantage of heritage tourism from 2011 to 2022 and new dimensions in religious tourism in Nessebar, Bulgaria. A notable focus is balancing preservation with tourism in Porto, Portugal, and leveraging sustainable practices. These studies highlight the role of heritage in fostering resilience, cultural identity, and sustainable urban development, offering actionable insights for managing challenges in a rapidly evolving tourism landscape. The twelve articles are authored by a group of thirty-five authors. These represent ten countries-Spain, Portugal, Norway, Saudi Arabia, Bulgaria, Peru, Ecuador, Hungary, Egypt, and Indonesia-with cross-country collaboration on some articles.
