Music is an important aspect of tourism. “City of Music" is a label that many cities want to acquire based on the fact that it is a way to attract new tourist traffic. Not only does music have a positive function in terms of identity and belonging, but music tourism is increasingly recognized as an industry with economic and social impact. Based on the theoretical foundation of music sociology and cultural anthropology, the importance of music in contemporary tourism and human cultural exchange is further elucidated by sorting out and integrating the concept of music tourism.
