Abstract

Cultural tourism has traditionally been approached in terms of its appeal to visitors wishing to find out about or get involved in places or to extend their education or to enjoy historical buildings and heritage managed for tourism. This is tourism that has most encouraged activities to preserve the environment and historical/artistic heritage, getting away from mass tourist models, destination impact and seasonality. The aim of this study is to develop a model to identify the elements that help modify the cultural tourist's motivations: the structure of the tourism industry (enterprise infrastructure factors, city infrastructure factors, tourist mobility and tourist resources) and value for money. The use of partial least square method allows us to confirm the proposed correlations and to validate a model.
