“…In the past two decades, the field of tourism has adapted MacCannell's original model and relabeled the stages to use in a marketing and sustainability framework (Pearce et al , 2003; Henke, 2005; see Table 1, right column). Most researchers have applied MacCannell's five stages to investigate a specific site (see Table 1, left column), including Gallipoli, a site in Turkey where Australia and New Zealand lost thousands of soldiers during World War I (Slade, 2003), an aboriginal site in Australia (Clark, 2002) and a Norwegian cape (Jacobsen, 1997).…”

Indiana is intrinsically connected to a pivotal event in Native American and United States military history. While it appears to have all the necessary elements to become a successful tourism attraction, it consistently teeters on the verge of insolvency. Applying sociologist Dean MacCannell's (1976) fi ve-stage site sacralization theory as an analytical lens to investigate the site revealed that it has never successfully moved beyond MacCannell's fi rst stage (i.e. naming), which may be a key factor contributing to low visitation and poor economic performance. This suggests that MacCannell's theory can offer unique insights into site development.

“…In the literature of performing arts heritage, cultural identity is used to define the genre of performing arts with respect to its home territory (Henke 2005, Patkin 2015). The cultural identity of a particular region travels across different geographical distances through local musicians and audiences to facilitate the global flow of culture (Connell andGibson 2004, Butler 2006).…”

“…In recent years, intangible cultural heritage as a tourism product has received much scholarly attention (Ahmad 2006, Butler 2006, Park 2011. In particular, traditional performing arts promote the cultural identity and values of a destination (Henke 2005, Diettrich 2015). Heritage tourism not only boosts the economic values of traditional performing arts, but also arouses awareness towards cultural heritage preservation and sustainable tourism development (Santa-Cruz 2016).…”

This study attempts to empirically investigate Macao residents' perception and enjoyment of their traditional performing arts -Cantonese opera. By examining the relationship between the experiential attributes and intrinsic artistic components of Cantonese opera, this study found that the experiential attributes and intrinsic craftsmanship were significantly correlate and influence on the residents' enjoyment of their traditional performing arts. While the constructs of "identity connection" and "leisure experiential benefits" are found to have significant prediction towards the intrinsic craftsmanship and residents' enjoyment of Cantonese opera, the intrinsic craftsmanship is the strongest latent variable to predict residents' enjoyment. Moreover, the statistical results reveal that Macao residents' consumption experience of Cantonese opera vary with their socio-demographic characteristics, particularly the residents' birthplace and age. This study empirically supports that the experiential attributes associated with tangible cultural heritage can apply to intangible cultural heritage and influence its attractiveness. Some practical and theoretical implications are suggested.

“…The intersection of music and tourism has become a growing field of inquiry, encompassing a broad range of disciplines such as ethno/musicology (Krüger and Trandafoiu, 2014;Mason, 2004), popular music studies (Cohen, 2012;Stahl, 2014), anthropology (Bruner, 2005;D'Andrea, 2007;St. John, 2009, geography (Gibson and Connell, 2005;Krims, 2007;Saldanha, 2002), leisure studies (Henke, 2005) and tourism/travel studies (Kay, 2006;Lashua et al, 2014;Long and Morpeth, 2012;Waitt and Duffy, 2010). In a recent Special Issue of this journal dedicated to music and tourism, the editors note that 'people travel to music either as fans, pilgrims, concert goers, festival attendees, or more incidentally where the sounds of places enter the travellers' consciousness' (Lashua et al, 2014: 4).…”

This article profiles the ‘techno-tourists’ of Berlin: music fans who return repeatedly to the city in order to participate in the local electronic dance music scenes. Based on interviews, this article sketches a profile of these music-minded voyagers, surveying their motivations, their attitudes, their patterns of travel and their strategies for making this mode of travel possible in terms of work and money. It also situates this recent wave of tourism within a broader history of tourism in Berlin, as well as considering its representation in local popular discourse. Local debates about the impact of tourism are reflected in interviewees’ ambivalence towards tourist identities, as they strive to describe the terms of their socio-cultural belonging within a sub-cultural scene that is spatially distant from house and home.
