Jakten på regional utveckling
Author
Summary, in English
All over Sweden it has since long been possible to follow authors as well as fictional characters in their footsteps, inspired by books and filmic adaptations. The opportunities have increased and there is a growing market for trips of this kind.
In its organized form these activities are part of something much larger, including an economic development where economic and cultural spheres increasingly join in policy and in practice. The cultural and creative industries, highlighted as dynamic and lucrative industries, together with the business community, are according to the Government's action plan supposed to create regional growth and double the total exports (2009). In this article, tourism connecting with the cultural sector will be discussed in relation to two empirical studies that are examples of how interest in the form of cultural tourism that puts literary expression in the center has been handled locally.
