- Abstract
Modern libraries not only function as information and learning centers, but also as tourism destinations that play an important role in the cultural and educational tourism sector. This research aims to analyze the role of libraries in supporting cultural and educational tourism through a systematic literature review of relevant studies. The review covered publications within the last 10 years, with a focus on the library’s contribution to attracting tourists, supporting the preservation of cultural heritage, and providing educational experiences for visitors. The review shows that libraries are not only a local attraction, but also part of a strategy to develop educational and cultural tourism destinations. In addition, various initiatives, such as historical exhibitions, literacy activities, and collaboration with cultural institutions, have demonstrated the potential of libraries as key actors in the tourism industry. This study concludes that libraries have a strategic role to play in enhancing tourism appeal while strengthening their educational and social functions in the community. The implications of the findings also provide insights for the development of libraries as sustainable tourism destinations.
