Cultural and
Historic Tourism – CMC fits
the bill.
“After the beach and boardwalk, the
rest is history…and culture”
•Visitors want
activities they can’t get at home and
want to be part of a region by experiencing the area’s history and culture. (TripAdvisor)
•Visitors are
active 12-14 hours a day and spend 4-6
hours in pursuit of the lure that brought them to a destination. Arts, Culture and History fit well.
•51% of CMC
visitors participated in cultural and historic tours and attractions. (CMC 2012
Visitor Survey)
•Baby boomers
account for 80% of leisure travel with
cultural and historic tourism high on their bucket list. (Roger
