About the Book

This volume considers world-making as the intersection of the fan pilgrimage experience and the responses of destinations. It critically examines the emerging field of popular culture tourism and its close connection with fan studies and placemaking. The chapters illustrate how different destinations capitalise on expressive cultural practices to attract fan tourists, the processes involved in their tourismification, and the outcomes for both visitors and local communities. The book establishes a common ground for the comprehensive and critical study of popular culture tourism development and fandom. It integrates theory and practice and provides evidence-based recommendations for popular culture destinations. It is a useful resource for researchers in tourism management, fandom, pop culture and media studies, as well as for those working in the tourism industry.

Review :
The entanglements between popular culture and tourism are increasingly shaping places and leisure mobility patterns. The editors of this book have curated a compelling collection of emergent spatial imaginaries and rekindled placemaking practices to showcase tourism transformations in the Anthropocene. Solidly grounded in interdisciplinary domains, this volume will be of interest to both tourism and place marketers, as well as consumer culture scholars at large. This arresting book examines the expressive practices of popular culture that craft tourism realities. The editors’ compelling perspective guides critical exploration of what popular-culture fans desire and how communities respond to intended and unintended tourism changes. The expert authors critically interrogate contested tourism world-making emerging from various popular culture expressions, including musicians, manga, film, and Indigenous responses to colonial invasion. A must-read for anyone researching popular culture–tourism relationships. This engaging book offers a wide-ranging approach to the diverse and rich interrelations between popular culture and tourism, both online and onsite, varying from battlefield tourism, scholarly-virtual pilgrimage and fan travel vlogs to baseball tourism. I particularly liked how the authors address the important role and perspective of fans in all these cultural practices.
