The concept of cultural tourism again is very complex and so there is a long debate among
scholars about its definition and conceptualisation (Michalkó, 2004; Richards 2005;
Shackleford, 2001) due to which we find numerous definitions for this term. So as one of the
most important recent papers on cultural tourism – more exactly cultural city tourism –
mentions, “there are a great number of definitions of cultural tourism in use, resulting in different
definitions being used in research studies related to cultural tourism and in the field of cultural
tourism.” (City Tourism and Culture – The European Experience, 2005)
