Abstract
This study investigates the inter-relationships among local museums, cultural tourism and community development. The experience of Mamoiada, a Sardinian village where a museum focusing on local cultural heritage was opened in 2002, is examined. Data collected on visitors to the museum and local tourism businesses reveal that this destination has achieved an early stage of cultural tourism development with positive economic and social implications. So far, the activities of the museum fit into the broader local system, adding value to the existing resources and community's capabilities, and suggesting that, if done well, a museum based on local culture can be a catalyst for development.File | Size | Format | |
