The article discusses a shift in European tourism towards a model that prioritizes cultural tourism. It critiques the traditional profit-driven approach and highlights the negative social and environmental impacts of mass tourism. The proposed model emphasizes the importance of culture, sustainability, and local community well-being. By investing in intelligent, ethical, and sustainable practices, the aim is to modernize tourism areas, promote local employment, and reduce dependency on high visitor numbers, ultimately fostering a more balanced and sustainable tourism industry.
