The aim of this paper is to systematically organize the domestic and foreign discussion regarding tourism development in developing countries carried out over the last 40 years from the point of view of regional development and planning, and clarify these issues. In particular to begin with, the paper looks at the general background of this 40 year period in which research and discussion was carried out in regard to tourism development in these developing countries, and an attempt is made to establish this period into separate phases. Then, the contents of these previously made studies will be classified by subjects in which tourism development has made an impact. These are then reviewed and organized in regard to the problems and significance, which these discussions have. Then finally, the paper will attempt to offer one possible direction concerning what form continued future discussion will take regarding the relationship between cultural heritage and tourism. The result is that this increasingly important issue will bring about the realization of sustainable tourism development and as a necessary requirement the host community itself must maintain and continue to inherit all related elements of daily life in the host community, in other words, the cultural heritage. Then, at the same time, they must also create cultural tourism accordingly by the reconstruction of cultural heritage from the context of tourism. Furthermore, in order to do that, the paper also points out the fact that a small scale system of tourism will be necessary, which is closely related to the host community based on local identity and a movement of autonomous activities.
