In 2017, the Salalah Guidelines for the Management of Public Archaeological Sites were finalized and the final draft was circulated to ICOMOS members before the 19^th ICOMOS General Assembly. The Guidelines, incorporating part of the Recommendations of the First International Conference of ICOMOS on Archaeological Parks and Sites, held on 23-25 ​​February 2015 in Salalah, Sultanate of Oman, have become one of the most authoritative documents containing principles for the organization and functioning of archaeological parks.

While not claiming to be a regulation or a standard, the Salalah Guidelines nevertheless contain a clearly formulated strategy for transforming archaeological sites into a valuable cultural and economic resource for nations and local communities with an important educational and recreational role.

By the efforts of the team of the Secretariat of the International Institute for Central Asian Studies (IICAS), this document has been studied and translated into Russian. The purpose of this initiative was to promote understanding of the provisions of the document and distribution for use by heritage experts and practitioners in their professional practice.
