At present, music tourism is yet to be clearly defined as a distinct area within the tourism industry and the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) does not yet offer any guidelines to what constitutes a music tourist. But what is clear, however, is that it is a growing subset of what is becoming known as cultural tourism and that it has already become big business.
Music Tourism can apply to all genres of music from Classical to Celtic and to all countries from Britain to the Balkans and to satisfy this growing demand a music tourism industry is forming consisting of specialist music tour operators and general tour operators offering music tours. These tours are pitched at people of all ages from all backgrounds offering music holidays to inspiring and historic locations mostly during summer period.
In the US, some cities are now basing their entire tourist profile on their music heritage, particularly in the Deep South where locations such as Beale Street and Graceland proudly boast their involvement in the birth of rock ‘n’ roll.
In Europe however, it is music festivals that dominate with events such as Glastonbury attracting enormous audiences as the UK’s live music scene continues to flourish. In all these famous destinations the effect of music tourism is to stimulate the local economy by drawing in large, often wealthy, audiences and with this comes a big injection of cash into the local economy.
