Abstract: | This paper identifies six key attributes of developing industry heritage tourism from the previous literature. These attributes are then used to evaluate a proposal for the National Historic Jeep Museum by the city of Toledo, Ohio. It is shown that although the potential for conserving and interpreting the museum are valued highly, there exist conflicting views by various stakeholders. Problems are attributed to poor community perceptions, a lack of strong support from the Jeep industrym the controversial reuse of existing facilities, ill-informed economic benefits and the issue of authenticity. |
