Intangible heritage can make cultural travel more respectful and more specific. Instead of only visiting monuments, travelers can learn when festivals happen, how food traditions are practiced, where crafts are made and why performances matter locally. The best trips leave space for context, community rules and the fact that many traditions are part of everyday life.
