AB Cultural  tourism  around  the  world  is  big  business.  Tourism  stakeholders  within  tourism  destinations understandably work hard to develop brands and images that entice cultural tourists to visit. However,  when  tourism  stakeholders  involved  in  this  process  do  not  prioritise  host  community  self-knowledge,  cultural  integrity  is  compromised  and  cultural  distortion  inevitably  arises.  The  purpose  of  this paper is to raise the issue of congruity between tourism brand and tourist experience, and to make a plea  for  the  consideration  of  history  in  the  imaging,  branding  and  interpretation  processes.  The  conclusion is that the effective use of local history can illuminate host community self-knowledge for the benefit of both cultural tourist and host community.
