Youth Visitors' Satisfaction in Greek Cultural Heritage Destinations: The Case of Delphi

Young visitors to the UNESCO-listed Archaeological Site of Delphi express high satisfaction with the site's core cultural assets, including its monuments and landscape, yet show significant dissatisfaction with man-made facilities and operational features. This indicates that while Greece's rich cultural heritage holds strong appeal for youth travelers, there is a critical need for improved infrastructure and management to fully capitalize on this market segment. The study, based on quantitative surveys of 15-35-year-olds, reveals that Delphi's youth visitors differ demographically from the broader Greek tourist population, underscoring their unique preferences and potential as a key demographic for cultural tourism development.
