Cultural tourism includes tourism in urban areas, particularly historic or large cities and their cultural facilities such as museums and theatres. It can also include tourism in rural areas showcasing the traditions of indigenous cultural communities (i.e. festivals, rituals), and their values and lifestyle. Many historic places have shows where the historical events have been dramatized to make them more entertaining. Every place in the world has a history but some places are more known for their historical past like Europe, Chine, India etc. These places have monuments and artifacts dating back to hundreds of centuries and they draw a huge number of tourists.
