Using a case study approach, this article demonstrates how applied anthropological research can be used in heritage tourism planning, specifically in regions designated by state or federal government as "heritage areas."

Because of this, both the ethnographic research process and the data it generates are complimentary components of community-based tourism planning. Also discussed are some common issues that arise in heritage tourism planning, such as conflicting stakeholder desires for resources, community frustration or exhaustion with the planning process, and mixed definitions of the concept of "heritage
