We all know there are lots of world heritage sites around the globe. But ever wondered What does a World Heritage Site means? Most of the World Heritage sites are undoubtedly tourist attractions. However, these are not just any other tourist destination. These sites are of not only historical and but also cultural or sometimes natural importance. A Study on World Heritage Sites in India.

Thus, making them a world Heritage Site UNESCO is trying to protect them. According to UNESCO, the definition of a World Heritage Site is as follows. World Heritage is the designation for places on Earth that are of outstanding universal value to humanity and as such, have been inscribed on the World Heritage List to be protected for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.

As of July 2021, altogether 1,154 World Heritage Sites (897 cultural, 218 naturals, and 39 mixed properties) exist across 167 countries among which 40 are present in India.
