Abstract
Cultural tourism, as a form of travel that seeks immersion in the history, art, and traditions of destinations, has gained significant importance. This document review aims to understand the impacts, challenges, and benefits of cultural tourism, as well as to identify strategies to promote responsible and sustainable cultural tourism, respectful of heritage and local communities. The positive impacts of cultural tourism on economic and cultural development are highlighted, as well as its role in heritage conservation and the promotion of cultural diversity. However, challenges such as tourist overcrowding and lack of community involvement in tourism planning are identified. The need for sustainable policies for responsible cultural tourism is emphasized. Cultural tourism is a powerful tool for heritage preservation and promoting intercultural understanding, but it requires addressing challenges to ensure sustainability and equitable benefits for local communities and visited destinations.
