There are many factors contributing to sustainable tourism, among them are the destinations of cultural heritage, history, legends, which nurtures and gives an emotional charge along with the spectacular to the perspective of tourism development. From this point of view, we want to touch upon the cultural heritage of Dedoplistskaro, such as Khornbuji Castle, the history of its origin and the historical realities that took place there in the second half of the thirteenth century. Also, the legend related to these stories, which in turn gives a completely diff erent meaning to the mentioned monument and creates an interesting basis for the development of cultural tourism as a product of future cultural tourism.

There is an interesting juxtaposition on between the legend and the official history, the main reason for the conflict is more interesting and also the real picture, a good way to get the artists interested and give visual weight to the story. The life and work of several historical fi gures are presented here: Davit Ulu, Jigda-Khatun, Mestumre Jikuri, Torgva Pankeli. All of them are in the center of attention of historians, writers and public speakers, i.e., oral historians and are evaluated in different ways. Thus, there is an undeniably interesting cultural heritage with its legend and history, which fits well with the concept of cultural tourism and the development of sustainable tourism in general. Maybe this example will lay the foundation for such a direction on in tourism, which will affect other monuments and will add more fun and visual load.
