Cultural tourists are in their traveling motivated by cultural-tourism resources including culture of a particular population and destination, their tradition, meeting different lifestyles, and visiting material cultural heritage … Within cultural tourism, tourists search for authentic experiences affecting cultural-tourism resources.

Therefore strategic management of cultural-tourism development is indispensable, as non-planed use can generate irreparable damages to cultural resources. This work emphasizes general characteristics of cultural tourists, their differences and motivations in visits to cultural locations and sights. The impact intensity effect of host-tourist relation is stated according to the economic development, social structure aspect, and cultural aspect of population.
