Travel and history have long been joined at the hip. Traveling to experience the places and activities that authentically represent the stories and people of the past and present is defined as “Heritage Tourism” and is considered one of the fastest-growing segments in the industry, according to the American Bus Association. It equates to a $171 billion annual spend. Examples of heritage tourism activities include visiting a museum or historic home, eating the local food or taking part in a festival.
