Aspects of the past are increasingly used in the construction of tourism products for a number of expanding and varied markets. Such historical tourism includes trips principally motivated by aspects of the past, but also historical excursions and activities undertaken during non-historically motivated holidays.
The tourism product may be composed of preserved, collected and interpreted historical artefacts, sites, buildings, districts and even whole towns, including memories and associations of places with historical events and personalities. The selection from the past as a quarry of possibilities and its presentation for contemporary consumption results in heritage which may draw upon folklore, mythology and products of the human creative literary and artistic imagination. Historical tourists may be motivated by a search for identity or fantasy.
Historical and heritage tourism are almost synonymous and have an overlapping relationship with many other forms of tourism. These include the historical aspects of cultural, art and festival tourism, many aspects of place-specific and ethnic tourism including flows, costume and gastronomy, and those trips associated with museums, art galleries, monuments and archaeological and historical sites. More broadly, historical tourism accounts for a large proportion of urban tourism.
