"It is certainly the desire to introduce new tourist practices to face the dangers posed to the cultural and natural heritage by the over-frequentation and overexploitation of the sites - an unavoidable consequence of mass tourism - that gave all its significance to cultural tourism. The first interrogations about the limits and dangers of extensive tourism started in the seventies, when sociologists emphasised that in this type of voyage unified and industrialised "the tourist sees nothing. Ultimately, he does not seek anything other than the confirmation of his preconceived opinion, i.e. he wants to be able to profit from a comfort to which he is accustomed and to find in reality the false image forged by the host country." (R. Renschler)."
