 Cultural features of world resources

"Culture" has been a motor of tourism from its beginning

Monuments, religious buildings (for their sacred or architectural value), historic or heritage sites, "old" inner cities, are solid attractions,
special interest places, f.i. places mentioned in literatures (221 Baker St.) can also become "sights".

Over time "non-sights" can become sights like old industrial factories, steam locomotives or historic shopping arcades

About 300 Mio. people (5% of mankind) are considered to be still "primitive", "aboriginees" etc.
Their "modernization" is lamented, even so tourism is one of the agents of change itself
