We walked the rest of the way in the unpredicted humid May weather. The building was refreshingly cool; the inside was presented in a sophisticated manner. I could not help but feel out of place in my…

    The attractive lure of the UWHL is also different in countries and regions. Take Macao for example, in Fig. 1 in the appendix one will see that there were more tourists from China performing heritage tourism compared to international tourists. A reason for this may be that Asian tourists value the Portuguese-style architecture of the historic centre of Macao more than European tourists and American tourists.
