Tentative List

Tentative sites (TWHS) are sites that are considered for future nomination to the World Heritage List. Each State Party submits its own Tentative List and is expected to keep it up-to-date. Nominations for WHS can only come from sites on that list.

The total of current Tentative Sites is 1779. The overview below shows all. Note: serial transnational nominations (in the pipeline for the coming 3 years) are shown as one entry.
