The impact of collaborative internet platforms on cultural tourism

Cultural tourism has seen a growing trend in the past years and beside the vast financial advantages that are brought to the host country, it must also cope with the responsibility of educating individuals in an efficient manner. This paper proposes to analyse to what extent collaborative internet based platforms can influence cultural tourism. As it is a complex relationship, we must evaluate and interpret the results of this study from different perspectives. The most appropriate example of cultural tourism in Romania is the Museum. In the past years, the concept of cultural hub became more prominent in our country and by becoming its main representative, mainly due to its intelligent use of technology and internet platforms, the Museum can actively contribute to civic education and to the increase of social cohesion - these are deficient aspects whose improvement should concern as many responsible factors in society as possible.
