Santrauka:
Šiomis dienomis gyvenant globalizacijos pasaulyje, tarpusavyje
sąveikauja šimtai įvairių valstybių kultūrų. Joms nuolat persipinant, vis labiau pasigendama
autentiškumo, todėl masinėje turizmo industrijoje iškyla kultūrinio turizmo vaidmuo, kuris
šiandieniniame globalizacijos pasaulyje yra vienas sparčiausiai augančių ir besivystančių turizmo
sektorių (Richards, 2010). Kultūrinis turizmas, kaip neatsiejama šiuolaikinės tvarios politikos dalis,
skatina regionų kultūros plėtojimą, tradicijų puoselėjimą, inovatyvių požiūrių įgyvendinimą
(Repšienė, 2011). Europos sąjungos teisiniuose aktuose kultūrinį turizmą išskiria, kaip prioritetinę
kryptį, kuriai turėtų būti skiriamas didesnis dėmesys (Švagždienė., B, 2016).
Description:
Relevance of the topic.Hundreds of different cultures of different countries interact with each other today in a world of globalization. Constantly overlapping, there is a growing lack of authenticity, which is why the mass tourism industry is playing the role of cultural tourism, which is one of the fastest growing and developing tourism sectors in today's globalization world (Richards, 2010). Cultural tourism, as an integral part of modern sustainable policy, promotes the development of regional culture, the promotion of traditions and the implementation of innovative approaches (Repšienė, 2011). The European Union legal acts distinguish cultural tourism as a priority, which should receive more attention (Švagždienė., B, 2016).
