Cultural tourism a review of recent research and trends
Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management, 2018Co-Authors: Greg RichardsAbstract:Abstract This review article traces the development of Cultural tourism as a field of research over the past decade, identifying major trends and research areas. Cultural tourism has recently been re-affirmed by the UNWTO as a major element of international tourism Consumption, accounting for over 39% of tourism arrivals. Cultural tourism research has also grown rapidly, particularly in fields such as Cultural Consumption, Cultural motivations, heritage conservation, Cultural tourism economics, anthropology and the relationship with the creative economy. Major research trends include the shift from tangible to intangible heritage, more attention for indigenous and other minority groups and a geographical expansion in the coverage of Cultural tourism research. The field also reflects a number of ‘turns’ in social science, including the mobilities turn, the performance turn and the creative turn. The paper concludes with a number of suggestions for future research directions, such as the development of trans-modern cultures and the impacts of new technologies.

dimensions of Cultural Consumption among tourists multiple correspondence analysis
Tourism Management, 2013Co-Authors: Greg Richards, L A Van Der ArkAbstract:Abstract The Cultural tourism market has diversified and fragmented into many different niches. Previous attempts to segment Cultural tourists have been largely unidimensional, failing to capture the complexity of Cultural production and Consumption. We employ multiple correspondence analysis to visualize the relationship between Cultural consumers and attractions in a large data set (n = 12,905). This indicates that two dimensions describing the ranges between ‘static’ and ‘dynamic’ attractions and ‘high-brow’ and ‘low brow’ culture effectively discriminate different groups of arts and heritage tourists. The holiday structure itself seems to provide a context that influences the Cultural Consumption of actors. Thus higher levels of Cultural capital are related to more accessible forms of culture, contrary to theoretical expectations. There is also evidence of the development of a Cultural tourism ‘travel career’ with more dynamic Cultural forms being characteristic of younger tourists and more high brow and static forms of culture being consumed in later life by those with higher levels of Cultural capital.

the impact of Cultural events on city image rotterdam Cultural capital of europe 2001
Urban Studies, 2004Co-Authors: Greg Richards, Julie WilsonAbstract:Summary. Cities are increasingly using Cultural events to improve their image, stimulate urban development and attract visitors and investment. As part of its event-led regeneration strategy, Rotterdam staged the ‘Cultural Capital of Europe’ event in 2001. The aims were to attract visitors and to stimulate Cultural Consumption among residents, while positioning Rotterdam as a Cultural destination. Over 2000 questionnaire responses by resident and non-resident visitors to the Cultural Capital event were used to evaluate the image effects of the event. In depth interviews were also undertaken with policy-makers and Cultural managers, to permit evaluation of survey findings in the context of richer qualitative material. The image of the city as a Cultural destination did improve in 2001, but the physical and tangible elements of the city’s image (modern architecture, water) and its character as the working city of the Netherlands continued to dominate.

voracious Cultural Consumption the intertwining of gender and social status
Time & Society, 2010Co-Authors: Tally Katzgerro, Oriel SullivanAbstract:This article contributes to the study of stratification in Consumption activities by focusing on the association between ‘voracious’ leisure, gender and social status. Cultural voraciousness is a measure of the pace and pattern of leisure activities designed to complement the concept of Cultural omnivorousness. We show that men are more voracious than women but that the pattern of the relationship with social status is not significantly different: individuals with higher levels of human, economic and Cultural capital are more voracious than others regardless of gender. However, we find support for a reinforcement effect of gender and social status, which creates the greatest differential in voraciousness between men with the highest social status and women with the lowest, lending support to the idea that voracious Cultural Consumption acts as a marker of social boundaries and a sign of social exclusion.

the omnivore thesis revisited voracious Cultural consumers
European Sociological Review, 2006Co-Authors: Oriel Sullivan, Tally KatzgerroAbstract:We augment measures of Cultural omnivorousness, based theoretically on the breadth of Cultural tastes, with a new but related dimension of voraciousness. This reflects a ‘quantitative’ dimension of leisure Consumption based upon both the range and the frequency of leisure participation. Voraciousness is theoretically interpreted in relation to notions of Cultural repertoires, to the changing pace of work and leisure in late modernity, and to the ‘insatiable’ quality of contemporary Consumption. From British time use data, voraciousness proved to share many relationships found in the analysis of omnivorousness, for example, with educational qualifications and job’s social status. Moreover, these relationships persisted over time irrespective of individuals’ time and money resources. Since voraciousness is associated with high status individuals, and since it is not primarily about the availability of time or money, we argue that it is a symbolic status marker associated with notions such as being harried, keeping busy, multitasking, and embracing a diverse Cultural Consumption pattern.

from exclusive to inclusive elitists and further twenty years of omnivorousness and Cultural diversity in arts participation in the usa
Poetics, 2005Co-Authors: Jordi Lopezsintas, Tally KatzgerroAbstract:Abstract Research on Cultural omnivorousness is expanded by examination of Cultural participation and by anchoring omnivorousness alongside other patterns of Cultural Consumption in a comparative context over time in the USA. Between 1982 and 2002, at the aggregate level little change was found in Cultural Consumption of live performing arts, but patterns of attendance did change, with an increase in Cultural differentiation. It was expressed in quasi-omnivorous and entertainment patterns that drew consumers away from more traditional highbrow Consumption patterns. Increase in Cultural differentiation was associated with rise in educational levels; this may reflect a link between the breadth of Consumption patterns of the elite and their need for scale and synthesis in Cultural knowledge.

Cultural Consumption and social stratification leisure activities musical tastes and social location
Sociological Perspectives, 1999Co-Authors: Tally KatzgerroAbstract:This article examines the extent to which different Cultural preferences are associated with occupational class and other stratifying dimensions in contemporary American society. Building on existing research that tends to analyze leisure activities and Cultural tastes separately, I construct Cultural profiles that combine participation in leisure activities and tastes in music. Using this method allows me to go beyond the common highbrow/lowbrow distinction. I analyze data from the 1993 culture module of the General Social Survey and find four Cultural types: highbrow, popular, outdoor nature, and youth music. I discuss the association of the four culture types with different dimensions of stratification. The findings support the conclusion that, while class indeed matters, the main determinants of Cultural preferences are race, gender, education, and age.

the social stratification of Cultural Consumption some policy implications of a research project
Cultural Trends, 2007Co-Authors: Tak Wing Chan, John H GoldthorpeAbstract:The paper briefly describes a recently completed research project on the social stratification of Cultural Consumption, presents some major findings from this project, and considers their implications for public policy in relation to the arts. A central theme is the inadequacy of the ‘homology’ argument, claiming that social hierarchies and Cultural hierarchies map closely onto each other. This argument is shown to be empirically unsound and to underestimate the complexity of the relationship between social stratification and Cultural Consumption, as this is determined by the combined effects of income, education and social status. One question that then arises is what policy response, if any, is required by the fact that many individuals do not participate extensively in the arts even though they have the economic and Cultural resources required to do so (self-exclusion rather than social exclusion). And a second is that of how far, in attempts at increasing participation, status-linked motivations might...

Social stratification and Cultural Consumption: The visual arts in England
Poetics, 2007Co-Authors: Tak Wing Chan, John H GoldthorpeAbstract:In this paper, we use recent survey data on the visual arts in order to test three arguments concerning the relationship between social stratification and Cultural Consumption: i.e. what we label as the 'homology', the 'individualisation' and the 'omnivore-univore' arguments. Through latent class analysis, we identify three types of consumer in the visual arts-'omnivores', 'paucivores' and non-consumers or 'inactives'. We then examine the social character of these types through a regression analysis that includes a range of demographic and stratification variables. As would be expected from a Weberian standpoint, the types are more strongly differentiated by status than by class-or income. Education is still more important than status, although how far it should be interpreted as a stratification variable can be questioned. Our findings reinforce those we have previously reported on Cultural Consumption in the domains of music and of theatre, dance and cinema in indicating that the homology and individualisation arguments lack empirical support. Further, though, the omnivore-univore argument seems less applicable in the visual arts than in other domains. Univores are not apparent and it is inactives that represent the numerically most important type. Moreover, it is in the distinction between inactives, on the one hand, and omnivores and paucivores together, on the other, that social stratification is most obviously expressed. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

social stratification and Cultural Consumption music in england
European Sociological Review, 2006Co-Authors: Tak Wing Chan, John H GoldthorpeAbstract:In this article we use recent survey data to test three arguments on the relationship between social stratification and Cultural Consumption: i.e. what we label as the homology, individualization and omnivore–univore arguments. We note various conceptual and methodological problems in the ways these arguments have been advanced, and stress in particular the importance of maintaining the Weberian distinction between class and status. We concentrate on musical Consumption and apply latent class models to identify types of musical consumer. We then examine the social character of these types through a regression analysis that includes a range of demographic and stratification variables. As would be anticipated from a Weberian standpoint, type of musical Consumption proves to be more closely associated with status, and also with education, than with class. In general, our results provide little support for the homology or individualisation arguments. They are more consonant with the omnivore–univore argument, although a number of qualifications to this are also suggested.

changes in Cultural Consumption ethnographic collections in wikipedia
Research Papers in Economics, 2016Co-Authors: Trilce Navarrete, Karol Jan BorowieckiAbstract:Visits to museums have been studied as hedonic and utilitarian forms of Cultural Consumption, though limited attention has been given to the access of museum collections online. We perform a unique historic analysis of the visibility of collections in a museum of ethnographic collections and compare 100 years of onsite visits to 5 years online visits. We find two main results: first, access to collections increased substantially online. From a selection of objects available both onsite and online, access grew from an average of 156,000 onsite visitors per year to over 1.5 million views online per year. Onsite, 15.5 million people visited the museum in a spam of a century while online, 7.9 million people viewed collections in only the last 5 years. Second, we find a difference in consumer preference for type of object, favouring 3D onsite and 2D online (photographs of objects, particularly when showing them being used). Results support understanding of online heritage Consumption and emerging dynamics, particularly outside of an institutional environment, such as Wikipedia.
