摘要:Cultural tourism constitutes an alternative strategy of sustainable local
development for improving quality of life. The main objective of this
type of tourism is to transform the regions, which are characterized by
cultural resources, into ideal places for vacation, residence or business. In this study the residents’ perceptions of cultural tourism were
examined in a case study of a Greek island, Andros. It was found that
the majority of the respondents were aware of the importance of
cultural tourism and they argued that it could contribute to the island’s
local development. The findings also suggested that there is a strong
relationship between the respondents’ characteristics and their
perceptions of the impacts of cultural tourism on the island’s
development.
