ABSTRACT
The heritage of a country or a society is a prominent element in the contemporary world. Preserving and conserving heritage has become crucial socially, economically and politically. Often heritage has been re-conceptualized as capital in anticipation of the development needs through tourism (Garrod et al., 2006). Edward (2013) observes that visitation for heritage-based attractions become a source of revenue and investment capital in addition to the contribution for preservation and conservation. Heritage motoring is a dominant cultural element from the aristocratic to common peoples in the twenty-first century (Jeremiah, 2003). Transport is an inseparable component of tourism. While it provides access to recreational activities, on the other hand it is a form of recreation in its own right (Page, 2004). As visitors’ interest and love of automotive technologies leads them to choose motor museums as fascinating attractions (Clarke, 2013), heritage motoring tourism is therefore an emerging segment of tourism industry in many destinations. Due respect of establishing the very first permanent transport museum to the public goes to Norway and during 1897 in Hamar when a small railway museum was established (Divall, 2001).
