Tentative List

A tentative list is a preliminary list of sites or properties that a country considers for nomination to a prestigious recognition, such as UNESCO World Heritage status. This list helps the country organize and prepare its proposals, showcasing the cultural, historical, or natural significance of each site. Being on the tentative list does not guarantee recognition, but it is an important step in the process, reflecting the country’s commitment to preserving its heritage and promoting its cultural identity. It also allows for more extensive evaluation and planning before formally submitting a nomination.
