<br />Title:Cultural Tourism: Attracting Visitors and Their Spending
<br />Abstract:
<br />"Cultural tourism is based on the mosaic of places, traditrons. art forms. celebrations, and experiences that define this nation and
<br />its people, reflecting the diversiiy and character of the United States."
<br />Internationally, the United Nations World Tourism Organization defines cultural tourism based more on visitor intent: "movements
<br />of persons for essentially culiural motivations such as siudy tours, performing ar1s and cultural tours, travel to festivals and other
<br />cultural events, visits to sites and monuments, travel to study nature, folklore or art, and pilgrimages."
<br />Both of these definitions demonstrate the value and desire of cultural activities as part of a rich, robust. and rewarding visitor
<br />experience. Destinations, particularly urban cities, have an opportunity to showcase cultural activities and provide cultural
<br />experiences through the formation of cultural districts. Americans for the Arts defines a cu{tural district as "a welFrecognized,
<br />labeled. mixed-use area of a settlement in which a high concentration of cLrltural facilities serves as the anchor of attraction."
<br />These facilities may include performance spaces, museums, galleries, artist studios, arts-related retail shops, music or media
<br />production studios, arts educaiion venues, andlor green space. Cultural districts are traditionally mixed-use developments,
<br />integrating both commercial space and residential areas, often designed to revitalize neighborhoods or areas needing economic
<br />or societal stimulation.
