Cultural and historical tourism

It is a type of tourism that is related to the culture of a country or region. Cultural tourism specifically focuses on the way of life of the people in these geographical areas and the history of those people, art, architecture, religions and other elements that have helped them pursue their way of life. Cultural tourism includes tourism in urban areas, especially historical and large cities and cultural facilities of these cities such as museums and theaters. Also, this type of tourism can include tourism in rural areas and the display of local traditions of cultural communities (for example, festivals and customs) and their values and way of life. Cultural tourism is currently very popular around the world, and in a recent OECD report, this type of tourism can be effective in regional development in different regions of the world.
