DESTINATION PLACE-MAKING*
*Guest Editors*

**
Popular culture tourism encompasses destinations featured in popular
culture expressions (e.g. film, television, literature, music, fashion,
sports) and the people who travel to these places because of their
association to the expression. Traditionally, popular culture tourism
research has focused on either one of these perspectives, exploring
topics like commoditization, staged performances and authenticity; these
focus on the extent to which a tourism experience is organized for
visitors and to what degree it can be regarded as “genuine”. Popular
culture tourism destinations often experience a strong marketing push to
cultivate niche products and experiences in the wake of being featured
in a popular culture medium. Thus, unique destination marketing
opportunities follow this kind of tourism, such as the shaping of
destination images and brands for example through the re-imagination of
historical pasts and fabrication of a modern heritage.The tourists who
visit these destinations exhibit somewhat more complex motivations than
traditional tourists’ travel motives. Some have a passionate interest
(i.e. fans) in a particular popular culture phenomenon, whilst for
others the popular culture association of the place attracts them to
visit for of added value. For fans, the drama, entertainment, social
interaction as well as community connections are central to the experience.
The purpose of the special issue is twofold. First, it aims to
explorefrom a multi-disciplinary perspective the emergent intersections
between popular culture, fandom and tourism as a debatable consequence
of the increasing processes of mediatisation and globalization. Second,
the special issue aims toinvestigatehow the manifestation ofmeanings
induced by popular culture andcommunal fan identification in search for
authenticity influence the place-making practices of destinations.
