ABSTRACT
This paper reflects on the changing nature of the cultural tourist, including motivations, profiles and experiences. The paper firstly reviews broadening definitions of cultural tourism, which now include more intangible, interactive and creative experiences. The research focuses on urban cultural tourism and the city of Budapest in Hungary. The primary data examines how motivated tourists are by different activities including culture; how far tourists are interested in heritage sites and museums compared to everyday culture and creative activities; it analyses variations in cultural activities according to age, gender and nationality; and the types of experiences that are desired the most by tourists. Cultural tourists still appear to be highly educated, but educational experiences are less important than escapism or entertainment. Cultural contact is important, but creative experiences are not. There are only small variations between genders and nationalities, but larger ones according to age groups. Older tourists prefer heritage sites and museums, whereas younger ones prefer night-life, music events and festivals. Overall, the findings are important for urban capital cities that have concerns about overtourism and the night-time economy, as well as the desire to re-establish themselves as cultural tourism destinations.

文化旅游者不断变化的性质:布达佩斯文化旅游者的动机、概况和体验
摘要
本文反映了文化旅游者不断变化的性质,包括动机、概况和体验。本文首先回顾了文化旅游的扩展定义,现在包括更多的无形、互动和创意体验。该研究的重点是城市文化旅游和匈牙利的布达佩斯市。主要数据考察了游客对包括文化在内的不同活动的积极性;与日常文化和创意活动相比,游客对遗产地和博物馆的兴趣程度如何;它根据年龄、性别和国籍分析文化活动的变化;以及游客最渴望的体验类型。文化游客似乎仍然受过高等教育,但教育体验不如逃避现实或娱乐重要。文化接触很重要,但创造性体验则不然。性别和国籍之间只有很小的差异,但根据年龄组的差异较大。年长的游客更喜欢古迹和博物馆,而年轻的游客更喜欢夜生活、音乐活动和节日。总体而言,这些发现对于担心过度旅游和夜间经济以及希望将自己重新定位为文化旅游目的地的城市首府城市来说非常重要。
