Cultural destinations as one of the most important generators of tourism

Abstract

The paper deals with cultural destination as one of the most important generators of tourism. The primary objective of this paper is to show the meaning of cultural destinations. From this reason, first we focus on explanation of concepts of cultural tourism and cultural destinations and then we perform a correlation analysis, which aims to find the intensity of dependence between the number of selected cultural destinations in the individual regions of the Czech Republic and the number of their visitors. The objective of the analysis is to verify the hypotheses about whether between number of these cultural destinations and the number of their visitors there is a statistical dependence. The number of Prague sights’ visitors compared with attendance in other Czech regions is extreme. Therefore, it is interesting to see how the results of the analysis change when we exclude the data of the number of the Prague sights and visitors.
