| description | Despite the rising number of creative tourism publications, creative
tourism is still emerging as a recent research area. Its study ranges from
urban cities to rural areas implicating different uses for creativity,
culture, events, creative networks and the co-creation of experiences.
This paper had the goal to focus on the main theoretical subjects of
creative tourism as a research area. As a result, the authors pinpoint
vital issues present in creative tourism literature even though its
definition is still evolving. After a thorough literature review, the
authors conceptualised three main theoretical contributions present in
creative tourism literature: 1) creativity and its relation to tourism, (2)
specialised consumption as a characteristic of the postmodern tourist
and 3) the experience economy paradigm and co-creation. This study
identifies the main theoretical underpinnings of creative tourism, which
made this special interest tourism gain so much importance in recent
years |
