Here are some different examples of why people do cultural tourism and why it motivates more people to travel.

Before continuing on to the cultural impacts of CHT, It’s imperative to note that the subject of cultural authenticity can be problematic, in that it’s not possible to speak on behalf of every person belonging to that cultural group. Culture isn’t a homogenous or static concept, due to the fact that all cultural groups aren’t the same and unchanging.
