Place As Product - A Place-Based Approach to Cultural Tourism 2013Steven Thorne
Cultural tourism is a lucrative market that many destinations aim to capitalize on. However, most destinations take an "attractions-based" approach that focuses only on marquee cultural attractions without understanding tourists' motivations or the destination's overall culture and sense of place. This document advocates for a "place-based" approach where the destination is understood holistically through inventorying all its cultural assets across domains like heritage, arts, cuisine and nature. These assets are then strategically positioned and linked with themed routes to reveal an authentic "tapestry of place." When marketed this way with sense of place at the core, a destination can better appeal to and profit from cultural tourists.
The document discusses cultural and heritage tourism in Southeast Asia. It proposes developing regional tourism packages and circuits centered around themes like cultural heritage, rural and urban culture, museums, temples, and archaeological sites. Member states will propose their best cultural and heritage tourism products to be incorporated into these experiential regional circuits. The overall aim is to increase the value and competitiveness of cultural tourism in ASEAN countries in a sustainable and community-focused manner.

The government is running several initiatives in Bangladesh to promote inclusive tourism development.

Both in NBI and CBI confirmed that the undisputed winner is the United States of America, thanks to its charismatic President Barack Obama.
As per the geographies of the top 10 countries, in both indexes the winners are the European Countries: five out of 10 countries in the CBI are in Europe, and 6 out of these taking the highest positions in the NBI.
Otherwise the two Indexes vastly differ in their methodology, results and approach.
Both Indexes are the most valuable resource for policy makers, DMOs and travel companies in their efforts to convert their countries in more profitable destinations.

By linking culture and tourism we come to the cultural tourism, the form of tourism with the growing interest in the world, as the number of tourists increases. These are travels motivated by cultural reasons. However, in order to talk about them, it is necessary to introduce or educate potential tourists with the possibilities of destinations, in terms of cultural content. On the other hand, in order to make this tourist-cultural experience possible, it is necessary to have adequate education of all those on the side of the offer and provision of services. Serbia has potentials for the development of cultural tourism, but in order to prevent it from remaining only at the level of potentials, education of all participants in this chain is needed. However, cultural tourism is not and should not be directed exclusively towards foreign tourists; the offer should be harmonized with the requirements of national, regional, international as well as global tourists.
