This paper presents a comparison study of tourism at two urban heritage sites, Woolloomooloo Finger Wharf in Sydney Australia and The Residence of Ganxi in Nanjing China. Both sites are evaluated according to the criteria for successful tourism at heritage places outlined in a report published by The Australian Heritage Commission (AHC) (2001). Through case analysis the role of tourism as a tool for urban cultural heritage conservation is discussed. Data were collected through interviews and a survey with the key stakeholders associated with each heritage site including residents, visitors, business owners and government. The findings of both cases indicate that tourism has notable efficacy on tangible-heritage conservation and has limitations on intangible-heritage conservation because the historical connection between the original inhabitants and the heritage site is weakened. Several lessons can be learned from the development of tourism at these heritage sites. The effectiveness of tourism as a tool for heritage conservation and management can be improved when tourism adheres to certain development principles. Firstly that the original character of the heritage site is maintained and secondly that the historical ties that local residents and original inhabitants have to the site are respected so as to create a rich heritage context for both local residents and tourists.
