4 Summary and Conclusion

The analysis above indicates that it is evident that the trafficking of cultural property is a multi-dimensional phenomenon and it can materialise through various actors. The international organisations have adopted legal and policy instruments that are regulating the import/export as well as the return and restitution of cultural goods. And in order to do so, they have painstakingly promoted the transnational co-operation among the national competent authorities. However, they significantly lack any initiatives in acknowledging the dynamics behind the relationship between yellow tourism and the illicit trade in cultural property. International co-operation should depend also on new stakeholders, such as tourism authorities, tourist operators and tourist operators; moreover, information awareness campaigns should reach out to every tourist/traveller. The existing legal frameworks (whether universal or regional) concerning the fight against the trafficking of cultural goods cannot fulfil their potential without seeking to actively engage all tourism industry actors in the preservation and protection of cultural assets and goods. In parallel, states and international organisations have to develop tools, synergies and policies that promote sustainable tourism while protecting culture and cultural heritage and contributing to the fight against the illicit trade in cultural goods. The implication of this would be to bring the existing legal framework on cultural goods’ trafficking in alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. But to do so, this requires further research to be conducted and more data to be collected on the relationship between yellow cultural tourism and the trafficking of cultural goods.
