Abstract
The city of Pensacola, Florida, has been attempting to create a heritage tourism industry for half a century but has never achieved the same level of success of the other notable destinations that they were trying to emulate. This is, in part, due to a significant level of development in the historic district, much of which is now historic as well, combined with an impressively complex history concentrated in a relatively small area. If Pensacola, or any community in a similar situation, is to develop an effective heritage tourism program, then a well-organized plan is needed. This paper presents a model, along with the most basic level of information required, for the development of an interpretive program in downtown Pensacola which aims to provide the best possible results for the community, the tourist, and the archaeological resources.
