Abstract
Heritage tourism is increasingly recognized as a powerful means of preserving cultural identity while stimulating local economies. Within this domain, vintage car museums have emerged as unique heritage spaces that encapsulate the technological, social, and artistic history of transportation. This study explores the multifaceted role of vintage car museums in promoting heritage tourism, with a focus on both global and Indian contexts. Through case studies, visitor surveys, interviews with museum stakeholders, and analysis of economic and cultural impacts, the research reveals how these museums contribute to preserving automotive heritage, fostering community engagement, and enhancing tourism appeal. The study finds that vintage car museums not only serve as repositories of historical artifacts but also act as educational hubs and catalysts for local development. Strategic branding and digital outreach further amplify their impact by attracting diverse visitor demographics and strengthening their presence in the tourism market. Indian examples such as the Udaipur Vintage Car Museum and the Heritage Transport Museum illustrate how regional history, royal patronage, and community initiatives intertwine to create compelling tourist experiences.
