Sumario:This article is a summary of a presentation held at the conference in Mistelbach in 2015, “Archaeological Reconstructions and Tourism”. The conference topic leads us to a more consistent approach to reconstructions and tourism. All who work in the heritage sector know that all types of museums have a great influence on the tourism sector. What I want to discuss is whether this comes spontaneously, or to consider the possibility that there is a formula resulting in this influence? Furthermore, what is the cost of attracting tourism? Do we need large investments in reconstructions? Do we need reconstructions of natural scale at all? All of these questions, and others, were raised during my research on the management of archaeological parks, where the main research question was “under what conditions can an organisation survive in the market”(Breznik 2014).
