Presently music tourism is yet to be categorized as a separate area inside the travel and tourism industry and the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) does not yet offer any guiding principles as to what makes up a music tourist. But one thing is clear that it is an emergent division of what is becoming known as cultural tourism and has by now become big business.
Music Tourism applies to all genus of music, ranging from Classical to Celtic and encompasses all countries from Britain to the Balkans and to appease this rising demand a music tourism business is forming consisting of professional music tour operators and common tour operators offering music tours. These trips are targeted at people of all ages and from all milieu offering music holidays to inspirational and historic locations generally during summer period.
In the US, several cities are now promoting their complete tourist profile on their music legacy, mainly in the Deep South where places such as Beale Street and Graceland pompously brag their contribution in the birth of rock ‘n’ roll. In Europe on the other hand, it is music fiestas that lead the events such as Glastonbury pulling enormous audiences as the UK’s live music scene continue to thrive. In all of these well-known destinations the result of music tourism is to excite the local economy by drawing in huge, often prosperous, audiences and with this comes a big addition of cash into the local economy.
