What is Cultural Tourism in the Maritime Heritage Context?

Back on March 7, I posted a link to the Ontario Ministry of Tourism's website and it's "Making the Case for Tourism" toolkit. This drew a comment from Matthias Ripp, who suggested that we needed to define terms, such as "cultural tourism," and suggested this link to a European Union project. Below is his definition:

Cultural Tourism is a form of tourism that focuses on the culture, the cultural environment (including the landscapes of the destination), values and lifestyles, local heritage, visual and performing arts, industries, traditions and leisure assets of the host community. It can include attendance to cultural events, visits to museums and heritage places and mixing with the locals. It should not only be regarded as a definable economic niche within the broad range of tourism activities, but rather as encompassing all experiences absorbed by the visitors to a place that is beyond their own living environment for more than one night and less than one year in private or public accommodation in the destination.

What do you think? Does this miss anything with regard to maritime heritage? Is this defintion, coming out of the European experience, applicable to the American context?
