According to the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), international
tourists engaging in cultural activities accounted for more than
500 million of international tourist numbers in 2017. City tourism
relies on culture as a major product, providing benefits not only
for interested visitors, but also for the local resident
population. New trends in tourism include "experiential tourism",
where the interactions between tourists and residents become a key
part of the tourism experience and overall customer satisfaction.
New technologies and IT applications allow tourists to design their
own trip, given the presence of global companies like Trip Advisor,
Booking.com and AirBnB. This comprehensive volume explores new
trends in cultural tourism, demonstrating how and why culture has
become a central factor in tourism. The authors analyse a wide
range of relevant issues, including: how heritage-based and
cultural tourism could contribute to the sustainability of
destinations; the increase of religious travels to and within Arab
countries; and how cultural tourism fosters understanding among
people and cultures, and could even potentially help to consolidate
peace at a regional level. The book also analyses interactions
between hosts (the local residents) and guests (the cultural
visitors), revisiting the pioneer hippy travelling experiences in
Turkey of the 1960s and how they shaped youth culture. This book
will be of great interest to students and researchers of cultural
tourism. The chapters were originally published in the journal
Anatolia.
