Product Description
Cultural Tourism
Author: M Ivanovic
Format: Physical Hardcopy
Cultural tourism is a growing area of special interest in the field of tourism, and South Africa is a key participant in this area. Increasingly, its cultural heritage sites, museums and galleries, cultural villages and other sites of cultural interest form heavily visited stops on the tourism routes.
To ensure that cultural heritage is accessible and an authentic source of information and experiences for the tourist, it is critical that the people involved in the tourism industry have a thorough understanding of the interconnectedness of tourism and culture. They must also be well trained and knowledgeable.
Cultural Tourism equips the student of cultural tourism to carry out, successfully and responsibly, all the tasks relating to the development of cultural tourism. Each chapter concludes with a comprehensive series of self-assessment questions and sets a hands-on task to enrich the student’s learning experience.
