Impact of the Culture on the Tourism

 The Cultural Tourism is the future of the Tourism. Better image of a destination, a better representation of a country, its identity, but also its current events thanks to the artistic creation.

I - THE MARRIAGE CULTURE AND TOURISM


 The more and more narrow link between culture and tourism is strengthened by a number of factors.

On the demand side:

 1 - The interest growing for the culture, in particular at time(weather) when source of identity and differentiation in front of the globalization. 
 2 - The increase of the cultural capital, strengthened by the increase of the educational level. 
 3 - The ageing of the populations in the developed regions. 
 4 - The postmodern modes of consumption, emphasizing the self-fulfillment rather than the materialism. 
 5 - A desire to live forms of direct experiences (" to discover the real life " rather than content with visiting). 
 6-The increasing importance of the immaterial culture and the role of the image and the atmosphere 
 7 - The greater mobility allowing to have more easily access to other cultures.

On the supply side: 

 1 - The development of the cultural tourism to strengthen employment and returned. 
 2 - The cultural tourism was considered as a market of growth as well as as a shape of tourism " of quality ". 
 3 - More and more supplied cultural offer bound to the regional
 - Development The bigger and bigger availability of the information on the culture and the tourism by means of the news(short stories) technologies.
 5 - The emergence of new countries and regions having in heart to establish a different identity (see, for example, the influence of the new States independent from central and eastern Europe). 
 6 - The desire to throw the image of regions and country outside.
 - The problems of financing of the cultural activities bound(connected) to the increase of the cultural offer.


 


II - THE GREEDY AMERICAN TOURISTS OF CULTURE

 The Canadian study states a strong correlation between the consumption of plastic arts and patrimonial sites. More than 50 % of the American visitors art lovers also visited museums and 50 % of the festivals. This correlation is also strong between the tourists appreciating the plastic arts and those who are amateur of wine/gastronomy.
 The enthusiasts of plastic arts also have a propensity to be interested in the alive arts. In the United States, inquiries dedicated to the " amateur travelers of history/cultural " show that 30 % of the American tourists are influenced, when they choose a destination, by a demonstration or an artistic, cultural or patrimonial activity specifies. The volume of journeys with historic / cultural character increased of 13 % from 1996 till 2002, passing from 192.4 millions to 216.8 million persons / journeys, is a growth rate slightly faster than that of all the internal journeys. The important role of the art and the cultural heritage is also confirmed by a study on the market resulting from Canada, according to which about 100 million journeys made by American residents in 2003 were bound to the culture, what represents 50 % of the total.





III - THE CULTURAL TOURISM, A POWERFUL ECONOMIC ENGINE

The duet of the tourism and the culture is thus an extremely powerful economic engine. According to Europa Nostra ( 2005 ), " more than 50 % of the tourist activity in Europe is generated by the cultural heritage and the cultural tourism should be the component of the sector of the tourism to know the strongest growth ". We can find somewhere else other appreciations so positive. They lean generally on the estimations of the World Tourism Organization according to which the cultural tourism represents 40 % of the international tourism Consequently, the culture is more and more used as one of the aspects of the tourist product and the strategies to emphasize the image of the destinations. The tourism was integrated into the strategies of cultural development to value the cultural heritage and support the cultural production. 
 This synergy between tourism and culture is considered as one of the main reasons inciting to favor the strengthening of the direct links between these two components. These links are powerful all the more because of the increasing importance of the tourism and the culture for economies all over the world. THE OECD considers that the international tourism represented some 30 % of the world exports of services in 2006 (OECD 2008). Also, it is more and more admitted that the culture and the creativity are important economic vectors. According to a study of the OECD dedicated to the economic importance of the culture in several big economies, the value of the cultural sectors represented from 3 % to 6 % of the total economy.

Because of the general cultural, economic and social effects, the public politics to promote the links between culture and tourism or the development more targeted by the " cultural tourism " stood out as an obvious fact in the continental, national or regional level.

Cultural and patrimonial tourism

The heritage is the inheritance of the past of which we take advantage today and which we pass on in the generations to come. Our cultural and natural heritages are two irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration. Places so extraordinary and diverse as the wild areas of the national park of Serengeti in East Africa, the Pyramids of Egypt, the Great Barrier Reef and the baroque cathedrals of Latin America establish(constitute) the heritage of our world.



According to the UNESCO, the cultural and patrimonial journey is one of the segments of the international tourism which knows the fastest growth. Who are his followers? What experiences do they favor? To distance itself within a world market always more competitive, the destinations build up to themselves unique identities to seduce this segment in search of dumping and of authenticity.


According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the World Tourism Organization, the cultural and patrimonial journey represented 40 % of the whole international tourism in 2007 compared with 37 % in 1995.



As the travelers are engaged in new activities of niche, this type of tourism does not stop diversifying. It includes the architectural tourism, the visit of the natural, referenced sites or not by the UNESCO, and the marine tourism for the exploration of the underwater inheritance. We also count the religious tourism and the gastronomic tourism, the agrotourism, the festivals and, doubtless the most traditional activity of all, the visit of museums and art galleries.



Among the motivations the most evoked by the followers of cultural journeys, we find:

  • The desire to live the local culture and to experiment the authenticity of places (it is not only a question any more of seeing icons main things of the heritage, but of diving into the culture.);
  • The will to acquire knowledge and to understand better the populations and the history of places.

Generally, the cultural tourists know straightaway the activities about which they will devote before their arrival to destination. Museums, sites and historic monuments appear among the attractions the most desired by the referees. The events such as concerts and shows are relatively less stocked, probably because of the period of time limited by their holding and language barriers.
