Abstract: Educational tourism is a type of tourism that focuses on educational and cultural goals, providing opportunities for knowledge enrichment, skills development and expanding the cultural horizons of tourists. This type of tourism often includes visits to educational institutions, museums, exhibitions, archaeological sites, historical sites, nature reserves and other places related to science, history, art, nature and culture. This report presents the methodology and preliminary results of a nationally representative survey among teachers, conducted in the period February – May 2024, which shows the attitudes towards the cultivation of cultural heritage in the process of education and the conduct of extracurricular activities. The questionnaire includes closed, open and questions on the Likert Scale. The analysis of the results shows a firm position of the teachers that cultural heritage diversifies the learning content, attracts the attention of students and facilitates the acquisition of lessons in Homeland Science, Man and Society, History and Civilizations.

Keywords: Cultural Heritage, Educational Tourism, Extracurricular Activities, Questionnaire Survey.
