Abstract

Music-making is assumed to be a significant part of the Newfoundland and Labrador tourist imaginary. This introductory exploration of the construction of traditional music in Newfoundland and Labrador tourism considers how people working in the music and tourism industries perceive tourist desire for traditional music. The occupational perspectives of musicians and tourism industry professionals is contrasted with statistical data concerning non-resident visitors, as they are more likely to be seeking out Newfoundland traditional music for the first time. Interview data supports the existence of a niche market for traditional music aficionados as well as tourists generally interested in local culture, although this is not yet reflected in provincial tourism surveys and reports.
