| dc.description.abstract | The fast growth cultural tourism has undergone since 1980 is a direct result of the rising interest for art,
culture and history, which can be explained by demographic, social and cultural changes. These changes
are, at the same time, the direct force behind the emergence of the lifestyle hotel. Taking into account the
process of standardisation (box hotels) of the international hotel industry, it reviews the irruption of
alternate hospitality models and their consolidation as cultural tourism products, identifying three main
product-market combinations: historic establishments, design and design-historic hotels. These productmarket
combinations intend to provide an identity-fit to the tourists thus greatly assisting in the cultural
tourism experience as a whole. An analysis of the lifestyle hotel product is undertaken in order to give
insight into the future of the niche. | eng |
