ABSTRACT
In the previous chapter the nature of arts-related tourism was discussed and a framework was developed to explain why there might be tourists in audiences: the demand. In this chapter the focus is shifted towards the supply: what is on offer to these tourists and what might attract them. The discussion in the previous chapter pointed out how there have been shifts in holiday-making so that there has apparently been an increased interest in culture-related and arts-related tourism. Despite this, most tourism remains sun and sea based and holiday-makers seek diversion on holiday. There is discussion of seaside resorts in this chapter as these, in the past, have been the most obvious and important places to offer entertainment to tourists – usually as arts-peripheral tourists. They continue to be the places (both domestic and international) to which most people go on holiday though the popularity of particular places, states and countries has changed. Arts and entertainment elsewhere, such as in cities, have been less aimed at tourists though this is now changing.
