Summary: The aim of this book is to analyse the relationship between tourism, culture and the attractiveness and competitiveness of destinations. In doing so, this book reviews national/regional experiences and practices of destinations where cultural resources are driving overall attractiveness. It also examines the development of tourism production and distribution processes in relation to cultural resources. From the analysis, the book identifies some key factors and policy interventions which can maximise the attractiveness of destinations as places to visit, live and invest in. Based on a range of case studies collected by the OECD Tourism Committee as well as external material, the analysis identifies best practice and the most effective policies for enhancing the attractiveness of destinations capitalising on their cultural resources. Case studies have been provided by Australia, Austria, France, Greece, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia and Turkey. The case studies illustrate different aspects of the relationship between tourism, culture and location attractiveness and the policy interventions which can be taken to enhance this relationship. Some of the case studies mentioned are available at www.oecd.org/cfe/tourism. The book also considers the wider benefits of developing the relationship between tourism and culture, such as enhanced image, social cohesion, support for the cultural sector, increased innovation and creativity.
