Resumo

Este artigo insere-se no âmbito dos estudos de turismo cultural, centrando-se num Sítio de Património Mundial (WHS) e demonstra a importância de perceber as preferências dos turistas culturais para que entidades organizadoras e decisoras possam proporcionar diferentes produtos turístico-culturais para atender às suas expectativas. Foi realizada uma pesquisa por meio de questionários destinados a identificar, entre outras características, o grau de interesse dos turistas culturais por experiências de viagem altamente exigentes que melhorem o seu conhecimento da cultura e história locais, com atividades participativas com interpretação e outros eventos que exigem um elevado nível de envolvimento intelectual e emocional. Os resultados parecem revelar perceções da cultura como uma fonte de novos valores e a preferência por apresentações e interpretações inovadoras e intelectualmente estimulantes dos sitios visitados.
