Responsible Management of Cultural Tourism

Abstract

Cultural tourism is a product with a strong development within the international tourism market. The cultural component is, increasingly, more present in the tourist market and configures a whole series of products, services and equipment that meet the motivations of many tourists when traveling. The consumption of the cultural offer in the destination is a common practice, both for tourists and residents, as it forms a pattern of consumption and behavior typical of the so-called advanced societies. This article will analyze the capacity of the tourism sector to promote, order and manage the set of historical assets and cultural manifestations that build up the identity of a country, territory or town in order to ensure that the cultural offer generates social and economic benefits and at the same time it is consumed in a responsible and sustainable manner in the tourist destinations.
