“…Also, some ethnic groups are attracted to their traditional music, despite not living in their places of origin, because of the connection of their identity to the music [26,27]. Examples would be Cantonese opera, which attracts audiences because of its connection to the identity of the place [28], or traditional Istrian music [29]. But also, more contemporary music, which is already part of the cultural heritage of their places of origin and has a strong connection between the physical place of their roots and music, such as New Orleans and jazz, Argentina and tango, Cuba and rumba [30,31], or more recently, tourism of festivals which attracts fans from all over the world, contributing not only to the tourism industries, but also to the local and regional economic development [32].…”

“…Although local municipalities acting as DMOs support the inclusion of pre-war traditional music in tourism offerings, believing that it can enrich the tourism experience and attract more high-spending cultural tourists, there are only about 20 events per year where tourists can listen to traditional music. It is also relatively rarely played or performed in catering establishments (Sedmak et al , 2020). There are several reasons for this.…”

“…One of the great challenges for owners and managers operating in tourist areas is to decide whether to present traditional music in their gastronomic establishments at all, to what extent and in what way. Often, both tourists as users of catering services and restaurant managers do not have sufficient expertise on traditional music, while in most cases the latter also do not have information on the expectations/preferences of guests regarding the music played (Krajnovic and Gortan-Carlin, 2007; Sedmak et al , 2020). Thus, this part of the ambience or servicescape context is often left to improvisation and intuitive decision-making.…”

Purpose Through investigation and comparisons between tourists and restaurant managers regarding their understanding of traditional music and their attitudes, expectations and assigned importance to it, this paper aims to identify the most problematic aspects of the (non)inclusion of traditional music in restaurant settings in tourist destinations. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected through a field survey of tourists and managers/owners of catering establishments in the four municipalities of Slovenian Istria. Findings The results show that tourists attach a relatively high importance to this element of cultural heritage and that it is not sufficiently included in the overall product of the destination and in the catering establishments. Differences in the understanding of traditional music between the two groups were also found. Research limitations/implications The research limitations are, namely, a relatively small sample of managers for the quantitative analysis, the particular nature of the chosen destination which does not allow generalization of the results and finally, the study was conducted in the high season when the structure of tourists is significantly different compared to that in the mid and low season. Practical implications The findings bring some useful insights into tourists’ expectations and understanding of traditional music as part of the tourism experience for catering establishments’ managers and destination management organizations. By addressing the identified gaps, they can enrich the overall tourism product of the destination, while catering operators can achieve better business results. Social implications The more frequent and cogent inclusion of traditional music in the hospitality sector would provide a new social function and raison d'être for this segment of cultural heritage, which is in danger of being forgotten in many tourist destinations. Originality/value This research addresses a widely overlooked area of two interrelated fields of research, namely, hospitality and cultural heritage. Unlike the majority of previous research on this topic, which only involves actual guests, the present research is designed as a comprehensive investigation and comparison of the attitudes of the general population of actual tourists in the destination (as potential guests of the inns/restaurants) and managers of catering businesses operating in the destination.
