Abstract
Heritage tourism is a driver of economic growth in many historic towns. However, these places often experience many problems and current planning usually does not address all the difficulties adequately. Small towns in peripheral areas often lack economic opportunities and rely heavily on cultural heritage to develop tourism. A conceptual framework was applied to examine the challenges and opportunities of heritage tourism development in a small historic town in Guangxi, China, based upon semi-structured interviews with decision makers, business operators and residents, supplemented by on-site observations and review of secondary data. Findings reveal that tourism provides incomes, fuels local economic development and increases awareness and knowledge of cultural heritage, but also brings changes to the town, presenting challenges to the community and heritage perpetuation. Stakeholders differ in the power that they bring to bear, and also in the positions that they hold on tourism development and heritage conservation. Insufficient financial resources and lack of adequate planning and effective management are impediments to heritage tourism. Adaptive planning, with broader community participation and greater collaboration among stakeholders, is proposed to achieve more equitable development.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
