The purposes of this study are to understand the development of cultural industries, creative industries, cultural tourism, and creative tourism and to identify the current cultural and creative tourism trend worldwide. The development and connections between cultural and creative industries, as well as cultural and creative tourism, have been reviewed in order to clarify their relationships. By understanding their relationships, industry practitioners are expected to be aware of tourist needs and get the inspirations on how to transform or revive their cultural businesses. On the other hand, the cultural heritage of the country is hoped to be preserved, as culture is important and fundamental for tourism development in every nation.
