摘要：The aim of this research is to ascertain the volume of regional demand for cultural tourism attractions and events and, in particular, to investigate the role that the cultural capital plays in the propensity to visit these attractions and events. As expected, the results showed that the participation in cultural activities most often takes place locally. The most popular types of cultural activities were visiting heritage sites and museums followed by the popular music concerts. However, the expectations that cultural participation could be effectively predicted by the education and incomewere only partly supported by the results. In terms of income, there is a positive relationship between level of income and participation in cultural activities. This relationship is not so pronounced when it comes to the activities belonging to high-brow culture where it is the level of education that might be a strong predictor of participation. It might be that in the modern societies, where the income is not necessarily proportional to the level of education, the education is a better reflection of cultural consumption.
