What this Manual does not recommend however is a single blue print for the preparation of a World Heritage site Management Plan, nor does it set out rules or provide solutions to individual management problems. What makes it different however is that it builds upon the guidance which already exists about preparing Management Plans, by focusing on those specific issues taken into account within World Heritage properties. The Manual should therefore be used as a Tool Kit to help answer the question

• What makes a successful World Heritage Management Plan?

and also serve as a directory to resources that will help achieve succesful management planning.
