Synopsis
This study examines the role of cultural heritage in tourism experiences within the framework of archaeotherapy.

In this context, the experiential and healing dimensions of cultural heritage are explored from a tourism perspective, highlighting the potential contributions of archaeotherapy to the tourism literature.
