FROM CULTURAL TOURISM TO CREATIVE TOURISM
Abstract
This paper is an attempt at popularising a new sub-type of cultural tourism – creative tourism – whose name was coined only 23 years ago. The paper presents a few definitions of creative tourism, its roots, and its evolution stages from 2000 to 2023. The material consisted in scientific papers from the last decade – most of which belong to Greg Richards, the “father” of creative tourism. The research method used is documentation. Documentation results show that creative tourism has different forms and roles, a few potential advantages over the traditional forms of cultural / heritage tourism, a wide range of locations where it can be practiced, as well as many models of development. Creative tourism could be a potentially-enriching sub-type of cultural tourism in the context of Romanian tourism.
