Abstract

Cultural tourism is not a new form of tourism but a growing niche product; it represents a form of economic development. This concept has emerged as a result of the interaction between tourism and culture and the increasing consumption of culture. Globalization has led to the standardization of culture which implies that it does not benefit all communities and it can affect the local and regional cultures. The article wishes to present notions of culture and tourism and to highlight the main features of the concept of cultural tourism and its evolution over time from a niche market to a booming sector. Also it focuses on the specific features of the tourists that characterize this form of tourism. Cultural tourism is presented everywhere in the world, many destinations being known by tourists due to the cultural image they have. Among these destinations we can mention Paris with Versailles Palace, Notre Dame Cathedral; Rome with Colloseum; Targu Jiu with the ensamble of Constantin Brancusi.
