Still beats me how there can be a new, unexplored method of determining value of heritage. Yes, you can measure it in tourist dollars but all you end up with is a value measured in tourist dollars which is not a cultured way of valuing culture. If you project a Mickey Mouse lightshow onto the side of Stonehenge you'll increase its value in tourist dollars but will you increase its cultural value?
Is there a new, unexplored method of determining the value of Beethoven's Ninth, news of which has not yet reached my village?!
