"The issue has often been seen to be about what types of culture are offered to the tourist for their consumption. This however is far too simplistic as there is a dynamic involved in the promotion and consumption of the offer, which has to be addressed. The argument here is that it is important to recognise the cultural contributions of three sectors within the development of the cultural tourism relationship - the tourists, the resident cultures and the cultural entrepreneurs involved in the promotion. The question of authenticity has to be viewed and reviewed from all three of these cultural locations, which in practice will encompass far more than the three generic views as the paper will demonstrate.
When dealing with cultural tourism, there has to be a full recognition of the different categories of touristic experiences involved in the phenomena. The World Tourism Organisation's definition is admirable, effectively defining cultural tourism as the movements of persons for essentially cultural motivations, which they suggest includes study tours, performing arts, cultural tours, travel to festivals, visits to historic sites and monuments, folklore and pilgrimages (WTO,1985)."
