Museums are significant cultural resources, providing an environment for tourists to encounter and interact with the territory they are visiting. In addition, they are points of reference, even after the tourist experience. However, interpretation is fundamental to this process and essential in building a tourist image. Therefore, this book aims to identify the approach to heritage interpretation principles in the development of national government policies, analyzing intersectoral convergences and divergences. To this end, the National Sectoral Plan for Museums, the Cultural Tourism Guidance Booklet, the National Tourism Plan, and the Tourism Regionalization Program were analyzed. Based on the research, differences in understanding the concepts of heritage interpretation principles can be observed, and it is clear that political intersectorality still needs to be improved.
