Leora Berry (ICOMOS Israel) discussed the many facets of Israel that make heritage management in the country challenging. Heritage professionals in Israel need to ensure that heritage is independent of religious constraints and locals are perceived as assets. An example is the Jezreel Valley where there is a top-down approach that accounts not only for various stakeholders in valley but can be used as a planning tool. This approach uses complexes around which tourism initiatives can grow along planning guidelines which in turn contribute to creating resilient tourism infrastructure. Another case study is that of an internet site where young people can interview the elderly to document local stories. The final case study examined a project which focused on the conservation and interpretation of an archaeological site through community participation.

Martin Horacek (ICOMOS Czechia) spoke about how the Czech state has a strong position in heritage conservation. Following 1889, properties were returned to owners who in turn became involved in promoting local tourism. Local craftsmen and artists have been employed in local conservation and restoration projects. There are some sites on the Tentative World Heritage List where heritage has been an industrial driver in region (e.g. hops in an agricultural landscape and a UNESCO biosphere reserve).
