Abstract: Cultural tourism is a rather new term that has been much discussed in recent years. Despite many empirical surveys dealing with the notion of cultural tourism, its definition remains elusive. The objective of this research is to investigate the presumably abundant differentiating experts’ views on how to define cultural tourism as well as to spot the appearing ‘subgroups’ that the theory classifies as being subtypes of cultural tourism. To reach this objective, recently published scientific papers will be explored in terms of extracting experts’ perspective on defining cultural tourism. The paper aims at finding similarities as well as discrepancies among the obtained definitions. It also focuses on extracting authors’ views on what subgroup types could still be defined as a part of cultural tourism.
