Cultural heritage and tourism
Tonka Pančić Kombol
Sažetak
Europe has always been an important destination for those attracted by its rich cultural heritage. Cultural heritage is concentrated in cities and is often used in development of European city tourism.
Increasing market segmentation created new cultural motives for travel, which became very important for the growing incorporation of cultural heritage into tourism, as basic commodity for tourist consumption has been linked to the growth of the cultural tourism. The development of policy relating to cultural tourism has been more and more evident at European and national levels. Policies, which influence the development of cultural tourism at the transnational level, come mainly from the European Union, Council of Europe and UNESCO.
In cultural tourism cultural heritage (as other cultural issues) becomes a product as a result of cultural production of commercial organisations, and resource management and marketing policy.
In Croatia cultural tourism has not yet been included into the tourism development strategies and the influence of European policies is not yet evident but there are indications that this is slowly changing for the better.
