The agenda of “Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible 2015-2030” triggered a reflection on the possibilities of tourism. It focused particularly on cultural or heritage tourism, given its economic potential for the regeneration of infrastructures and for the exchange and relationship between cultures. However, the problems arising from mass tourism have increased and worsened at the same rate as tourist mobility. Numerous specialists have highlighted that "massification" or "touristification" are not contributing to reduce inequalities, nor to ameliorate our relationship with nature. Regarding the management, conservation or dissemination of heritage, there are aspects -such as protection, custody, uses, authenticity, transparency, inclusion and social participation, political appropriation or despoilment, among others- that involve first-order moral questions. They affect (or should) the tourism management of Cultural Heritage and are affected by touristification. Considering that sustainability must safeguard the capacity of future generations to use and enjoy heritage, and that heritage management itself must tend towards territorial regeneration, the issues mentioned above require reflection from the field of applied ethics. Taking the management of Cordoba's cultural heritage as an empirical reality and case study, we will illustrate, through different examples, the need to provide it with an ethical framework for cultural tourism able to ensure sustainability beyond mere institutional declarations.
