Keywords:
cultural heritage, tourism, cultural tourism, tourism development, history, sustainable development.Abstract
Tourists predominate practically everywhere. The global popularity of tourism is also rising, and a recent report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development emphasized how tourism contributes to regional development in various parts of the world. It is also defined as "the movement of people to places of cultural interest far from their usual place of residence in order to gather new information and experiences to satisfy their cultural needs." Furthermore, cultural and heritage tourism encounters seem to be a crucial element of possibly memorable travel experiences.
