 WHAT IS CULTURE?
-Culture consists of patterns, explicit and implicit, of and for behavior acquired
and transmitted by symbols, constituting the distinctive achievement of human
groups, including their embodiments in artifacts; the essential core of culture
consists of traditional ideas and especially their attached values; culture systems
may, on the one hand, be considered as products of action, on the other hand, as
conditioning influences upon further action.

Cultural Tourism
Cultural tourism could be defined as tourism that focuses on cultural
attractions and activities as a primary motivating factor for travel.

Cultural tourism is the subset of tourism concerned with a traveler's

engagement with a country or region's culture, specifically the lifestyle of the
people in those geographical areas, the history of those people, their art,
architecture, religion(s), and other elements that helped shape their way of life.

Cultural tourism includes tourism in urban areas, particularly historic or

large cities and their cultural facilities such as museums and theatres.

It is generally agreed that cultural tourists spend substantially more than

standard tourists do. This form of tourism is also becoming generally more popular
throughout the world, and a recent OECD report has highlighted the role that
cultural tourism can play in regional development in different world regions.

Cultural tourism relates to a city’s majestic art, fascinating architecture, age-

old customs, impeccable hospitality, authentic cuisines, thriving nightlife, and
many more facets. These compelling aspects make up the culture of a place that
plays an influential role in developing and boosting the tourism of a particular
destination.
 Cultural tourism has been defined as 'the movement of persons to cultural
attractions away from their normal place of residence, with the intention to gather
new information and experiences to satisfy their cultural needs'. These cultural
needs can include the solidification of one's own cultural identity, by observing the
exotic "others".
