  • Bruce Springsteen Tourism to Asbury Park (& the Jersey Shore)
    'Bruceland', the 'Promised Land' and the 'Land of Hope and Dreams' Constructing Music Tourism: Bruce Springsteen Fans and the Meaning of Visiting Asbury Park and the Jersey Shore Master Thesis Tourism and Culture Arts and Culture Studies Radboud University Name: C.A. van Helden, MA Student number: 4168968 Supervisor: Dr. F.P.G.B.M. Meens Date: 15 August 2018 Van Helden / s4168968 / 2 Abstract Recently, the niche of music tourism has become increasingly significant and widespread. Even though research into music tourism has also started to develop more broadly, the perspective of fans travelling someplace out of fandom of a musician, band, or music scene remains rather neglected. This research will focus on the case study of fans of Bruce Springsteen and his ‘adopted’ hometown of Asbury Park, New Jersey, as well as its neighboring towns of Belmar, Freehold, and Long Branch. In this thesis, this area is referred to as Asbury Park and the Jersey shore. This research will focus on an interpretation of recurring themes in the ways in which fans of Bruce Springsteen describe their motivations for visiting this area, as well as their experiences. As such, this research aims to add to an understanding of the ways in which (fan) tourists add to a construction of a music tourism destination; in other words, how do fans of Bruce Springsteen shape an image of said destination in their discourses? What makes their visit meaningful? How do they contribute to a particular tourist landscape? Van Helden / s4168968 / 3 Table of Contents Introduction ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Chapter 1: “Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.”: Theoretical Framework------------------------ 9.
