“…The premise for ICH to become cultural capital is to connect related services and accumulate a certain amount of cultural capital (i.e., "cultural added value") through the continuous flow of these related services. Furthermore, 'cultural capital' can be further transformed into 'cultural products' [25]. The cultural product here refers to the value of studying and traveling.…”

“…Thirdly, the suitability evaluation systems of educational tourism development of ICH mainly consist of element conditions of ICHs and the destination conditions of educational tourism development [21,23,24]. In addition, most of the selected indices are subjective judgments, which do not apply to a large number of evaluation objects [20,25]. However, in practice, there are a large number and complex types of ICHs in a region.…”

Combining the Intangible Cultural Heritage and sustainable development has been an important effort of UNESCO since the new century. This study discusses the suitability of educational tourism development of intangible cultural heritage. On the one hand, it was beneficial to improve the comprehensive quality of students; on the other hand, it was conducive to protecting and rationally developing the cultural heritage and avoiding its loss. In this study, an evaluation index system was established according to the analytic hierarchy process, which included two aspects (i.e., intrinsic value and extrinsic conditions) and 16 indices from four criterion layers (e.g., educational value, recreational value, environmental conditions, and relevant facilities and services). Furthermore, we calculated the development suitability and spatial distribution patterns of intangible cultural heritage for educational tourism. At the same time, using the obstacle degree model, the obstacle degrees of each indicator factor were screened and identified to explore the source of obstacles that restrict the suitability of educational tourism development of ICH. Results showed that: (1) The development suitability of intangible cultural heritage for educational tourism was divided into high suitability, middle suitability, and low suitability. A total of 186 intangible cultural heritages were found in Shandong Province, China. Among these intangible cultural heritages, 60 of 186 (32.26%) were low suitability, with values ranging from 0.326 to 0.460; 86 of 186 (46.24%) were middle suitability, with values of 0.460–0.543, and 40 of 186 (21.50%) were high suitability with a range of 0.543–0.689. (2) The spatial distribution patterns of suitability showed that the development suitability of intangible cultural heritage for educational tourism in Shandong Province exhibited a significantly positive spatial correlation that projects with similar suitability levels were clustered into a group and generally distributed with a direction of “southwest to the northeast”. (3) According to the diagnostic results of obstacle factor analysis, from the perspective of the first level indicator, the obstacle degree of the intrinsic value (A1) of the three levels of suitability of ICH was the highest. Among the second-level indicators, educational value (B1) has always been the biggest obstacle factor affecting the educational tourism of ICH, and the relevance of cultural content (C2), representativeness and typicality of the phenomenon (C3), applicability of teaching cases (C4), and uniqueness or rarity (C5) were the greatest among the three suitability factors.

“…Likewise, tourists form strong hedonistic ties with the destinations they visit, especially if they have a positive and enjoyable experience. These ties can often lead to a desire to return to the destination in the future or to recommend it to others (Qiu et al, 2023). A high level of hedonic value for tourists can be an important way for cultural boutique hotels to attract and retain customers.…”

“…Cross‐region studies can enhance the visibility of intangible cultural heritage tourism and contribute to comprehensive place‐making, but research lacks cross‐continental comparisons. This has led Qiu et al (2023) to consider Europe and China as ideal cases for place‐making studies due to their similar land areas, economies, and rich cultural heritages. In a related study, Zhang and Lee (2022) investigate the dialectical relationship between authenticity and alienation in intangible cultural heritage tourism, based on an evaluation of the role cultural values play in the provision of tourism in China.…”

Cultural heritage tourism has created opportunities for small and medium‐sized enterprises in the hospitality industry, including cultural boutique hotels that offer visitors personalized experiences around local arts and culture. To identify effective marketing strategies for these hotels, a study surveyed 300 tourists who stayed at Thai cultural boutique hotels. The study used a synthesis model with two antecedent factors (storytelling and co‐design) and one impact factor (customer value), with hedonism ties as an intervention factor. The results indicated that both antecedent factors positively affected hedonism ties, which positively impacted customer value. The study also found that two target segments played a crucial role in determining the relationship between co‐design and hedonism ties. By adopting marketing strategies based on these findings, cultural boutique hotels can attract and retain customers while contributing to the growth of cultural heritage tourism.

Existing studies have shown that intangible cultural heritage (ICH) listing system promotes the development of the tourism economy. However, it remains unclear which regions benefit most from ICH listing due to inherent differences in ICH resource endowments across regions. We address this issue by examining the impact of ICH listing on regional tourism development using China's prefecture‐level panel data from 2000 to 2019. By employing a two‐stage least squares methodology, we address the endogeneity issue and identify which regions derive the greatest benefits from ICH listing. Our findings reveal that regions with higher cultural diversity have more ICH resources and benefit more from ICH listings, resulting in positive effects on domestic and international tourism. Additionally, tangible cultural resources further amplify this relationship. These results underscore the importance of ICH protection and provide valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders seeking to leverage local ICH resources for regional tourism development.
