Railway transport and its relationship with leisure and tourism practices are engaged in tourist trains. Throughout their itineraries, these trains connect cultural and natural landscapes. Train trips serve to get immersed into the places, cultural traditions, and local lifestyles communicate the authenticity and sense of place in a current context of global tourism. The aim of this article is to study the forms that the territory takes to communicate itself. To this end, the connections between railways, tourism and the communication of the sense of place are analyzed in the specific case of New Zealand. The analysis of territories from this perspective delves into how regions transmit their cultural identity, understanding heritage as a form of communication. In particular, local landscapes express a unique sense of place that communicates territorial identities to both visitors and tourists.
