Cultural Tourism[edit]
Cultural tourism has become immensely popular in recent years. It defines the movement of people to cities and regions with a range of historical and cultural attractions, e.g. museums, theatre, galleries and national parks. Cultural tourism is seen as an important source of cultural consumption, which is why governments have started to pay more attention to this sector of the industry. The need to preserve cultural and historical heritage has been increasingly recognized by both developed and developing countries around the world.
