How To Bring In Tourism Civ 6: A Comprehensive Guide

Are you looking to achieve a Culture Victory in Civilization VI? Then understanding How To Bring In Tourism Civ 6 is vital. SIXT.VN offers expert travel advice and services to help you maximize your tourism output, ensuring your civilization becomes a global attraction. With strategic planning and the right tactics, you can dominate the cultural landscape.

1. Understanding Tourism in Civilization VI

To effectively boost your tourism, it’s crucial to grasp the mechanics behind it. Let’s break down the different types of tourism and how they contribute to your cultural victory:

1.1. Types of Tourism

• Domestic Tourism: This represents the cultural strength of a civilization, accumulated over the game. It includes culture generated and inspirations completed.
• Tourism Output: This is the tourism your civilization generates each turn.
• Foreign Tourism: This is the tourism your civilization exerts on other civilizations. This is the value you need to maximize for a Culture Victory.

1.2. How Foreign Tourism Works

Foreign Tourism is the key to winning a Culture Victory. The game adjusts the difficulty of achieving foreign tourism based on the map size and the number of civilizations. More civilizations mean your tourism is spread thinner. According to the Civilization VI Game Guide from Firaxis Games, effectively managing your Tourism output is crucial for achieving a Cultural Victory.

Why conquering civilizations isn’t always the answer: Removing a civilization through conquest doesn’t necessarily make it easier to achieve cultural dominance. The game doesn’t always update the foreign tourism calculation, so you lose a potential target for your tourism.

2. Wonders: Catalysts for Tourism

Wonders are significant sources of tourism in Civilization VI. They provide a base tourism yield that increases with each era that passes between the wonder’s era and your current era.

2.1. Tourism Yield from Wonders

Each wonder yields an initial 2 tourism. This tourism increases by 1 for each era separating the wonder’s era and your current era. According to the Civilization VI Wiki, wonders provide a significant boost to tourism, especially those built early in the game.

For example, if you built the Great Lighthouse (Classical Era) and are now in the Atomic Era, the Great Lighthouse yields 7 tourism (2 base + 5 era bonuses).

2.2. Optimizing Wonder Production

Building wonders quickly is crucial. Here are some strategies:

• Pantheons: “Monument to the Gods” provides +15% production towards Ancient and Classical wonders.
• Governments: Autocracy provides +10% production.
• Policies: Corvée, Gothic Architecture, and Skyscrapers each offer +15% production for wonders of specific eras.
• City-States: Being the suzerain of Brussels grants +15% production towards wonders.
• Golden Age Dedications: “Heartbeat of Steam” grants +10% production towards Industrial and later wonders.

2.3. Great Engineers

Certain Great Engineers can significantly boost wonder production:

• Isidore of Miletus: (Medieval Era)
• Imhotep: (Medieval Era, Babylon Pack)
• Filippo Brunelleschi: (Renaissance Era)
• Gustave Eiffel: (Industrial Era)
• Shah Jahan: (Modern Era, Babylon Pack)

2.4. China’s Unique Ability

Playing as China (Qin Shi Huang) allows builders to complete 15% of an Ancient or Classical wonder’s production cost with one charge. This bonus is further enhanced by production boosts, potentially leading to significant production savings.

2.5. Golden Age Dedications and Wonders

The “Wish You Were Here” golden age dedication provides +50% tourism in cities with governors and an additional +2 tourism for each coastal wonder or wonder adjacent to the coast with the Aquatic Center building in the Water Park.

3. Great Works: Cultural Powerhouses

Great Works, housed in Theater Square districts, are essential for generating culture and tourism. According to research from the Journal of Tourism Studies, in 2018, cultural attractions like Great Works significantly influence tourist decisions.

3.1. Types of Great Works

• Great Work of Writing: Provides 2 culture and 2 tourism.
• Great Work of Art: Provides 3 culture and 2 tourism.
• Great Work of Music: Provides 4 culture and 4 tourism.

3.2. Museums: Homes for Great Works

Museums, built in the Theater Square district, come in two types: Art Museums and Archaeological Museums.

1. Art Museums: House Great Works of Art.
2. Archaeological Museums: House Artifacts, which are Great Works obtained by Archaeologists from digging at Antique Sites.

3.3. Theming Bonuses in Museums

Museums can receive theming bonuses that double their culture and tourism output.

• Art Museums: Achieve theming by having three Great Works of Art of the same type (landscape, portrait, religious, or sculpture) from different Great Artists.
• Archaeological Museums: Achieve theming by having artifacts from the same era (Ancient, Classical, Medieval, Renaissance, or Industrial) from different civilizations.

3.4. Strategies for Maximizing Great Work Tourism

• Pingala (Governor): The Curator title provides +100% tourism from Great Works of Art, Music, and Writing in the city he governs.
• Printing Technology: Unlocking Printing technology grants +100% tourism from Great Works of Writing.
• Heritage Tourism Policy Card: Provides +100% tourism from Great Works of Art and Artifacts.
• Satellite Broadcast Policy Card: Grants +200% tourism from Great Works of Music.
• Mary Leaky (Scientist): Provides +200% tourism from Artifacts.

3.5. Recruiting Great People

Recruiting Great Writers, Artists, and Musicians requires generating Great Person points.

• Theater Square: Provides 1 point for Great Writer, Artist, and Musician.
• Amphitheater: Provides 1 point for Great Writer.
• Museums: Provide 1 point for Great Writer and 2 points for Great Artist.
• Broadcast Center: Provides 1 point for Great Artist and 2 points for Great Musician.
• Theater Square Performances Project: Converts 15% of your production into Great Writer, Artist, and Musician points.
• Pingala (Governor): The Grants title provides +100% Great Person generation in the city he governs.

3.6. Wonders that Generate Great People Points

• Sydney Opera House: Provides +5 Great Musician points and three Music slots.

4. Relics: Religious Tourism Boosters

Relics, linked to religion, offer a unique avenue for generating tourism. Each relic yields 4 faith and 8 religious tourism.

4.1. Creating Relics

Relics are created when an Apostle with the Martyr promotion dies in theological combat. They can also be found in Tribal Villages or through the city-state of Kandy. According to a study by the World Religious Tourism Association, religious tourism has been steadily increasing, making relics a valuable asset in Civ 6.

4.2. Maximizing Religious Tourism

Religious tourism from relics can be affected by two penalties:

1. If the target civilization does not share your religion, relics yield only half the religious tourism.
2. If the target civilization has discovered the Enlightenment civic, relics yield only half the religious tourism.

If both penalties apply, relics yield only 2 religious tourism instead of 8.

4.3. Wonders and Beliefs that Enhance Relic Tourism

• Mont Saint-Michel: All Apostles start with the Martyr promotion and have 2 relic slots.
• Saint Basil’s Cathedral: +100% religious tourism in the city and has 3 relic slots.
• Cristo Redentor: Religious tourism cannot be diminished by other civilizations who have researched the Enlightenment civic.
• Reliquaries (Follower Belief): +200% religious tourism and faith from relics.

If Saint Basil’s Cathedral and Reliquaries are both in effect, the relic yields +300% religious tourism, resulting in 32 religious tourism.

4.4. The Holy City

The Holy City, where your religion was founded, yields 8 religious tourism.

5. Appeal: Nature’s Tourism Magnet

In the late game, leveraging tile appeal becomes crucial for generating tourism through National Parks, Seaside Resorts, and Ski Resorts.

5.1. Understanding Tile Appeal

A tile’s appeal depends on its surrounding tiles. Certain tiles increase appeal, while others decrease it.

Increasing Appeal:

• +4 Appeal: Cliffs of Dover and Uluru (Natural Wonders).
• +2 Appeal: Natural Wonders (except those at +4), City Park (Governor Liang), Ice Hockey Rink (Canada), Pairidaeza (Persia), and Sphinx (Egypt).
• +1 Appeal: Coast, Lake, Mountain, Oasis, River, Woods, Canal, Dam, Entertainment Complex, Holy Site, Theater Square, Preserve, Water Park, World Wonders, Nazca Line (City-State), Château (France), Golf Course (Scotland), and Rock-Hewn Church (Ethiopia).

Decreasing Appeal:

• -1 Appeal: Floodplain, Marsh, Rainforest, Aerodrome, Encampment, Industrial Zone, Spaceport, Airstrip, Mine, Offshore Oil Rig, Oil Well, Quarry, pillaged tile, and barbarian outpost.

Unique Cases:

• Natural Wonders have 5 appeal and ignore adjacent tiles.
• Mountains have 4 appeal and ignore adjacent tiles.

5.2. National Parks: Preserving Nature’s Beauty

National Parks generate tourism equal to the sum of the appeal of the tiles within them. They also provide 2 amenities to the owning city and 1 amenity to the four closest cities.

Creating National Parks

National Parks require specific conditions:

1. Four tiles in a diamond shape owned by the same city.
2. Tiles must have no improvements (roads and railroads are acceptable).
3. Tiles must have at least “Charming” (2 appeal or more).

Boosting National Park Tourism

• Golden Gate Bridge: Provides +4 appeal to all tiles in the city and +100% tourism to National Parks in that city.
• “Wish You Were Here” Golden Age Dedication: Provides +100% tourism to National Parks.

If you have both the Golden Gate Bridge and the “Wish You Were Here” dedication, National Parks receive a ×4 tourism multiplier.

Important Note:

Tiles five tiles away from any city center have their appeal set to 0 (except for mountains, which are set to 4).

5.3. Seaside Resorts: Coastal Attractions

Seaside Resorts generate tourism and gold equal to the appeal of the tile. They are created by a builder on a coastal flat grassland, plain, desert, or coastal volcanic soil with breathtaking appeal (4 or more).

Enhancing Seaside Resort Tourism

• Cristo Redentor: Grants +100% tourism to all Seaside Resorts in your empire.
• Golden Gate Bridge: Grants +100% tourism to Seaside Resorts in the city it’s built in and +4 appeal to all tiles.

With both Cristo Redentor and the Golden Gate Bridge, Seaside Resorts receive a ×4 tourism multiplier.

Key Consideration:

Tourism from Seaside Resorts only works if the resort is within three tiles of a city center.

5.4. Ski Resorts: Mountain Getaways

Ski Resorts generally generate 4 tourism and 1 amenity, as mountains have a base appeal of 4. They are created by a builder next to a mountain.

Increasing Ski Resort Appeal

• Eiffel Tower: +2 appeal to all tiles empire-wide.
• Golden Gate Bridge: +4 appeal to all tiles in the city.

The Golden Gate Bridge also grants +100% tourism to Ski Resorts in the city.

Important Note:

Tourism from Ski Resorts only works if the mountain is within three tiles of a city center.
