Abstract

This paper investigates experiential marketing as a potential survival strategy for cultural heritage attractions competing in the leisure and tourism marketplace. The paper explores the nature and scope of the heritage industry, heritage as a consumption-based experience and the evidence of adoption of the experiential paradigm by a number of sites and attractions. A content analysis (Krippendorf, 1980 cited in Easterby-Smith et al., [2002]) of promotional leaflets and websites and a case study provide the analytical basis for this evaluation and the paper concludes by proposing an indicative framework for experiential marketing in this sector.
