殖民遗产的复兴是前英法殖民地在太平洋和亚洲的一个特别特点。这体现在对“殖民阶级”专属的“舒适区”的重新开发和复兴，以及通过旅游消费殖民怀旧的核心。更新殖民时代旅游建筑的政治和符号学含义是多方面的。关键的论点是，这可以将迄今为止无害的殖民遗产重新政治化。此外，这可能加剧本已脆弱的民族格局内部的紧张局势。当各种公众都沉浸在经济、文化和社会政治变革中，以及最近发生政治和民间动荡时，这一点尤其如此。如果在前殖民地恢复殖民遗产用于旅游（在这种情况下是遗产酒店），而不顾这些遗产所灌输的遗产和意义，那么社会和政治敏感性可能会加剧。
The revival of colonial heritage is a particular feature of former British and French colonies in Pacific and Asian settings. This is exemplified by the redevelopment and rejuvenation of what were exclusive ‘comfort zones’ for the ‘colonial classes’ and is central to the consumption of colonial nostalgia via tourism. The political and semiotic implications of renewing colonial era constructions for tourism are manifold. The key argument is that this can re-politicise what was hitherto benign colonial heritages. Furthermore, this can aggravate tensions within what are already fragile ethnic landscapes. This is especially so when the setting is one where the various publics have been steeped in economic, cultural and sociopolitical changes, and where political and civil upheavals are recent occurrences. If the restoration of colonial heritage for tourism (in this case for heritage hotels) in former colonies is conducted oblivious to the legacies and meanings instilled in such heritages, the exacerbation of social and political sensitivities is likely.
