Cultural Tourism; involves going to visit cultural attractions and events by culturally motivated citizens and tourists. Here are some different examples of why people do cultural tourism and why it motivates more people to travel. Valorizing and preserving heritage is a very big reason people do cultural travel because they want to see attractions how they use to be and don’t want to see them destroyed so preserving them makes people more motivated to experience the attractions they are seeing.
Challenges and Threats of Cultural and Natural Heritage Heritage-based tourism has evolved into one of the massive and rapidly growing sectors of the tourism industry (Timothy & Nyaupane, 2009). Tourism manifestation in heritage sites serves as a possible development strategy for local communities which in return, generates employment, introduces better economic opportunities, and constructs additional infrastructures (Madden & Shipley, 2012).

ABSTRACT During the late 1970’s cultural tourism was identified as driving force in the tourism industry. People who were interested in the tourism industry such as marketers and researchers began to notice that many travellers travelled specifically to develop a insight of the culture or heritage of a destination (Tighe, 1986).

REVIEW 2.1. DEFINITION OF SUSTAINABLE CULTURAL TOURISM The terms “cultural tourism” is widely used, but also misunderstood. In addition, the definition of cultural tourism remains vague (Aluza, O’Leary, and Morrison, 1998). Academics, practitioners, and policy-makers have been quick to identify cultural tourism as a significant and growing market, but have been hesitant or unable to describe and define the market. Most attempts at defining cultural tourism agree that it consists of the consumption
Introduction In this essay the author will focus on socio-cultural impacts of the tourism development in Spain. Tourism industry is a highly profitable business (Wharton University, 2011); in some countries beach and sun are the primary attractions to their guests and making it as the tourism product may be one of the principal sector that contributes to the economy to that country.

Tourism is the travel between a person’s home and a destination and the travel period is not more than one consecutive year for business, leisure and other purposes. According to UNESCO, culture is defined as the set of customs, knowledge, values, arts, principles, rules, and any other traditions adopted by a person as a member of the society. Culture can be tangible or intangible. Examples of culture in tangible form are the architecture of the buildings, historic places, and museums. Examples of

New emerging trends in tourism, such as the increase in the popularity of observing or participating in ethnic or cultural activities and events, has piqued the interest of scholars. Studies pertaining to these concepts are often called cultural heritage tourism or CHT. There’s no technical definition for the meaning of
Before continuing on to the cultural impacts of CHT, It’s imperative to note that the subject of cultural authenticity can be problematic, in that it’s not possible to speak on behalf of every person belonging to that cultural group. Culture isn’t a homogenous or static concept, due to the fact that all cultural groups aren’t the same and unchanging. As such, generalizations tend to be made and arguments should be kept in perspective in that there will always be those with opposing positions/experiences
The socio-cultural impacts of tourism described here are the effects on host communities of direct and indirect relations with tourists, and of interaction with the tourism industry. For a variety of reasons, host communities often are the weaker party in interactions with their guests and service providers, leveraging any influence they might have. These influences are not always apparent, as they are difficult to measure, depend on value judgments and are often indirect or hard to identify. The

significance of heritage tourism? The Philippines has an exceptional history, spanning pre-colonial era to Spanish, American, and Japanese occupations. These periods left their marks in various forms evident in the country’s culture. For example, the City of Vigan in Ilocos Sur, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the few Hispanic towns reflecting a unique fusion of Philippine, Oriental, and colonial European architecture. In a country where history is kept alive, cultural heritage tourism means travelling
usually search for a tour guide or anyone who has more knowledge of the place than you do. Cultural tourism is a great way to learn new historical facts of the places you are exploring, whether it be a significant monument or a cave that’s been around for forever or maybe little buildings that important things happened in.

Once a community becomes a destination, the lives of residents in the community are affected by tourism, and the support of the entire population in the tourism community is essential for the development, planning, successful operation and sustainability of tourism (Jurowski, 1994). When tourists feel that they are welcome by the host community, they are more likely to return and recommend the destination to others. The relationship between residents and foreign tourists is created by the ratio between
Tourism is alive with dynamic growth, new activities, new destinations, new technology, new markets and rapid changes (Charles Goeldner & Brent Ritchie, 2006). Tourism is therefore a subset of travel and visitors are a subset of travelers. These distinctions are crucial for the compilation of data on flows of travelers and visitors and for the credibility of tourism statistics (Peter LAIMER 2010). Tourism-both domestic and international – is taking place on such a large scale that it has become a
Transport and Tourist Experience The interrelationship between transport and tourism remains perhaps one of the most important relationships within the wider tourism system. A remarkable fact is that people travel in varying distances by various means for a variety of reasons, and transport provision sits at the heart of that movement. Transport is essential for tourism because it facilitates the movement of tourists from their place of origin and their destinations, and acts as the means of movement
