“…Stebbins (2001) refers to literary tourism as a form of serious leisure, suggesting that the activity is enjoyed because of the complexity and challenge required for its consumption. Further, it is an increasingly significant example of cultural capital (Bourdieu 1984) where books, place and food have significant trajectory in a daily market of experience (Mehmetoglu and Engen 2011;Pegg and Patterson 2010;Pine and Gilmore 1998) and which serve to fulfill peoples' creative needs.…”

This conceptual paper uses a scenario planning process to facilitate possible futures for literary festivals, a form of festival tourism that has grown rapidly in the developed and developing countries of the world in the early decades of the 21 st Century and which continues to grow towards 2050. The paper addresses this in the context of two significant cities, Shanghai -a megacity in China, and Melbourne, the capital city of Victoria, Australia. The paper offers two scenarios for literary festivals, one drawn from science fiction and the other from a process of prognosis. The aim of this work is to contribute to research in festival tourism studies by exploring the signposts and signals that may confer the future role, form and function of literature and the format and activity of literary festivals and literary festival tourism in a changing world. Utilizing Signals and Signposts, the work contributes to the body of work which seeks strategic responses to rapid change, rapid urbanization and possible zones of uncertainty that may await literary festivals and associated tourism and community activity in the future.

“…A driving force behind this megatrend in developed and developing countries is the need of individuals to create their own identities (Arcodia & Whitford, 2006;Hauptfleisch, 2006) and to shape their personalities in lives characterized by increasing freedom and an improving economy (Yeoman, 2013). As such, experiences function as a personal source of information for the stories people tell about their lives (Mehmetoglu & Engen, 2011).…”

“…Staged events such as music festivals may be popular because of their clear fit into the experience economy, which in itself can be considered as a megatrend in today's society (Bille, 2012;Mehmetoglu & Engen, 2011)-they are social manifestations. A driving force behind this megatrend in developed and developing countries is the need of individuals to create their own identities (Arcodia & Whitford, 2006;Hauptfleisch, 2006) and to shape their personalities in lives characterized by increasing freedom and an improving economy (Yeoman, 2013).…”

Many music festivals fail because the experiences offered do not ensure relevance and meaning to the attendee. Engagement with new and virtual landscapes and with the enhanced sensory feelings and imaginations that technologies can offer may alleviate this. Utilizing a futures frame, this conceptual article contributes to the pursuit of successful future event design by applying a normative visionary methodology—employing trend analysis, scenarios, and science fiction to create prototypes that may assist in the formation of appropriate experience options and opportunities for music festivals of the future. It is proposed that this technique may aid positive social outcomes.

“…Put in another way, -experience‖ is still an elusive term (Meyersohn, 1981). Despite this elusiveness, scholars have tended to believe that leisure is a construct that arises from experience (Kelly & Freysinger, 2000;Kivel et al, 2009;Mehmetoglu & Engen, 2011). Clawson (1963) proposed a model to look into the stages of -recreation experience‖ and identified five stages: anticipation, travel to the site, on-site activity, return travel, and recollection.…”
