Bücher von Chris Gibson

This book comprehensively examines the links between travel and music. It combines contemporary and historical analysis of the economic and social impact of music tourism, with discussions of the cultural politics of authenticity and identity.

Throughout the world, the number of festivals has grown exponentially, as people celebrate local and regional cultures, but perhaps more importantly as local councils and other groups seek to use festivals both to promote tourism and to stimulate rural development. This title discusses issues affecting music festivals globally.
