Cultural, creative and culinary tourism

Transformation of tourism

The rise of mass tourism brought several negative impacts, such as overcrowding, environmental problems, degradation of local culture, etc. Cultural tourism, in contrast, was often viewed as a good form of tourism. However, there are also signs that cultural tourism is now becoming a victim of its own success. The work of Russo (2002) about Venice has underlined how historic city centres can suffer from a ‘vicious cycle’ of cultural tourism development, in which famous sites attract large numbers of tourists, degrading the quality of experience and driving ‘serious’ cultural tourists away. Growing numbers of tourists at major sites and in small communities has raised questions about the sustainability of this new form of mass tourism. Many places are therefore turning to creative development strategies, or different forms of creative tourism in the process. Tourists are no longer just concerned to accumulate goods, but they also want to develop themselves and their own consumption skills. People want to paint, drawn, design, photograph, sing, do yoga – a whole range of activities which will build their own skills and develop their potential (Richards 2011).

Cultural tourism and creative tourism are the most dynamically expanding areas of the tourism sector. In the theoretical chapter we review the definition of the two trends, the characteristics of the demand and supply side and clarify the concept of a cultural tourism product. We overview the development strategies that have defined the global museum market in recent decades and discuss the role of museums in the revitalization efforts of cities. You can also get a deeper insight in the operation of colourful science and transport museums. Afterwards, culinary tourism chapters examine consumer behaviour in food tourism and its link to social media which is followed by an overview on the supply side, a new typology of attractions in culinary tourism.
