"Certain places are so strongly identified with music that they have become tourist sites. Some places, such as Nashville, Salzburg and Memphis, have linked much of their economy to music and tourism. From glitzy to bizarre, from commercial to obscure, Music and Tourism is the first book on this subject." "Combining an analysis of the economic impact of tourism with discussions of its social impact and the cultural politics of authenticity and identity, Music and Tourism is an essential for music fans, travellers, students and researchers of contemporary tourism issues."--BOOK JACKET.
