Summary
Rehabilitating historical areas, such as the market square in Hebron's Old City, can significantly boost tourism and economic sectors by preserving cultural heritage and promoting traditional industries. This study demonstrates that strategic planning—including the development of tourist paths, organized events, and the preservation of archaeological sites—enhances visitor attraction while addressing economic challenges. However, external control over tourism, such as Israeli oversight in Palestinian areas, limits potential benefits, necessitating regulatory support for sustainable growth.
