Food,water, safety or acquisition of resources, through trade, was theearly travel goals; but the idea of travel for pleasure or exploration rapidly emerged. Today, tourism has become a collection of activities, services, and industries that deliver a travel experience for individuals or groups that are travelling away from home. Cultural Tourism has been defined as 'themovement of persons to cultural attractions away from theirnormal places of residence, with the intention to gather new information and experiences to satisfy their cultural needs'. These cultural needs can include the solidification of one's own cultural identity, with respect to cultural diversity. Currently, Cultural Tourism is growing in importance on the national and international levels.
