Culture win guidance

[salty mud]

Good day,

I am playing a game at the moment, Napoleon, large Terra map on Warlord difficulty and normal speed and doing well I think. I lead in tech and culture and have started colonising the new land. I've reached the industrial era and bee-lined archaeology, and I currently have my archaologists out digging for artifacts. I'd like to aim for a culture victory but not sure how well placed I am, or the best strategy to adopt to do so.

I'm influential over two civs already with some others in hot pursuit. I've got a lot of Zoos and Hotels under construction for the tourism boosts and multiplier bonuses. Is the best strategy simply to put these in all my cities?

Yes and then send trade routes to major civs. Mostly to the ones that you need the most tourism to influence. Try to open borders with them and check other tourism modifiers. Try to pass Passports resolution. Later build stadions and airports and use Great Musicians for concerts. You could also use spies to steal Great Works. If you do majority of these, it's only a matter of time for you to win
