%X The topic of this research is the appreciation of heritage by urban tourists, it specifically focuses on the urban area of Lisbon. The tourists visiting urban heritage constitute a research population that is not uniform. Underpinned by literature, it is likely that all the visitors attracted by at least one of the various urban facilities, will not valuate the heritage sites in the same way. The tourists will be subdivided based on some demographic, socioeconomic and geographical characteristics. This research tries to find a relation between on the one hand the differences between tourists and on the other hand the difference in their appreciation of the heritage experience. An important additional element of this research is that the answer on this question will be compared for visitors that associate the heritage site with the UNESCO World heritage label and visitors that do not have this association.
