Developing and Managing Visitor Attractions
Use of Interpretation in Visitor Attractions – Telling the story
What is Interpretation? According to Freeman Tilden
(1977)
“Interpretation is the work of revealing, to such visitors as desire the service, something of the beauty and wonder, the inspiration and spiritual meaning that lies behind what the visitor can with his senses perceive’
For this activity I would like you to think about the types of interpretation you have seen when visiting different visitor attractions.
Give me examples of different types of medium used to interpret, describe them, tell me whether the interpretation did or did not 'work for you' personally. Give reasons for your answers.
Working with stakeholders Why work with local agencies? Why work with local community? Local agencies with statutory remits
i.e. SNH, Historic Scotland Voluntary groups and societies Representatives of the local
communities in the area Individuals i.e. landowners, experts,
local business people
