After reviewing and briefly analyzing the contents and scope of several definitions of cultural tourism used in the official classification, in scientific considerations and in teaching practice, the author of the article presents a proposal of the phenomenon functional definition referring to the commonly used term of tourism as a primary concept. The proposal considers both current (broad) understanding of culture and itineraries (goals and contents) of tourist expeditions on the one hand, while on the other hand it considers the tourists’ cultural motivation aspect. The author’s goal is to make available and spread a useful tool to classify tourist offers and, consequently, to lead to the standardization of Polish professional terminology in the cultural tourism field. The proposal should be treated as a starting point for a discussion in professional circles on the subject of defining cultural tourism, with the option of considering tourism organizers and their needs in it.
