The subject of this paper is to show the importance of inter-sectoral and partnership activities, and added value of the heritage. The main goal is to emphasize the importance of the inter-departmental relations and forms of participatory governance that contribute to each pillar of sustainable development, in particular by activities related to the: preservation, conservation, restoration, greater visibility and valorization of the natural and cultural heritage. The work mainly relies on a qualitative analysis of previous empirical scientific research and practical examples of successful Worlds cases. We think that it is necessary to complement the operation of theory, practice and public policy papers, as well as international recommendations, to make all the relevant phenomena considered, so we will try to do that in relation to the subject and main goal of the paper. Paper reflects basic theory, examples and best practices in order to capture the importance of partnership strategies in participatory governance, with active participation in the decision-making process in order to make heritage more valuable. Our main hypothesis is: Long-term preservation of heritage seeks for a necessary interdisciplinary approach, and the actual market visibility by linkages of different departments such as culture, economy, CCI environment, society, through responsible forms of tourism (eco-cultural).
