Cultural heritage is a vital economic resource for cities with high concentrations of historical
\nassets and local traditions. As a matter of fact, cultural tourism is one of the fastest growing
\nareas of the tourism sector. The aim of this work is to compare performances of the cultural offer in
\nmajor Italian art and heritage cities, also in the light of recent developments in the economic and
\ncultural policies on a national level. For this purpose, we have jointly analysed the tourist flows and
\nthe cultural demand and supply over the last fifteen years. Emerging trends clearly show that, despite
\nthe recent economic crisis, tourist flows remain high. However, the average stay decreases, which
\ncontributes to the increase of the physiological gap between “famous places” to visit and the rest of
\nthe cultural offer. There is a need for policies that are capable of encouraging a higher length of stay
\nand, at the same time, involve all the components of the cultural offer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
