D1.4 Report on the results of surveys for tourists, residents and entrepreneurs in the case studies

Work Package 1 is mainly concerned with documenting the case study areas of the 15 SPOT partners by developing quantitative and qualitative indicators at national, regional and local levels which are appropriate for understanding the role of cultural tourism.
This is a report on three surveys conducted within the scope of the SPOT project. The purpose of this deliverable is to provide the results of the surveys for tourists, residents and entrepreneurs, and provide an analysis and discussion comparing the results of the fifteen participating case studies. The aim is to find out more about the similarities and differences that exist in tourists’, residents’ and entrepreneurs’ experiences and views on cultural tourism and about the potentials of cultural tourism.
