The Impact of Culture on Tourism examines the growing relationship between tourism and culture, and the way in which they have together become major drivers of destination attractiveness and competitiveness. Based on recent case studies that illustrate the different facets of the relationship between tourism, culture and regional attractiveness, and the policy interventions which can be taken to enhance the relationship, this publication shows how a strong link between tourism and culture can be fostered to help places become more attractive to tourists, as well as increasing their competitiveness as locations which to live, visit, work and invest.

Theme-based tourist attractions are enjoying increasing popularity, particularly as a means of diversifying the tourist product and adding attractiveness to local territories (Gregs, 1996). A differentiated theme may capture the attention of potential visitors and may become an attraction in its own right if it is presented and interpreted well and is coupled with services that meet visitor requirements. Cultural tourism can be one of theme-based tourist attractions. The development of tourism has been traditionally related to the development of culture. The unique cultural resources of a territory serve as a basis for the cultural supply required by the local community, as well as contributing to increased tourism attractiveness.
