What is it about?
The article discusses the conditions required for meaningful and memorable tourist experiences to occur, and the increasing competitiveness of heritage tourism projects. The aim is to examine whether or not the theoretical principles of experience creation (by Pine and Gilmore, Timothy and Boyd, Tilden and Schouten) can be applied to the three chosen case studies (Museum of Broken Relationships, Zagreb; Krapina Neanderthal Museum; and Batana Eco-Museum, Rovinj), drawing on recent developments in creative tourism and the use of cultural/creative industries. The principles of the experience economy are related to heritage tourism so as to showcase its successful use in contemporary heritage displays.
