Abstract

Highlights
It is the practical value of Huebner’s paper which is of interest to me
In her article “Who came first – Dracula or the Tourist? New Perspectives on Dracula Tourism at Bran Castle” complemented the original article in her theoretical discussion of the impacts of popular culture on the images held about a destination, and the co-creation of experiences
While the amalgamation of fictional and historical elements to create tourism destinations has proven successful in few instances (e.g. King Arthur’s Tintagel Castle in Cornwall, England; Anne of Green Gable’s attractions in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, Canada), these characters and tourism attractions are not viewed as demeaning in that they do not negatively affect the reputation of a valued historical figure or the national heritage of a country
Summary
It is the practical value of Huebner’s paper which is of interest to me. New Perspectives on Dracula Tourism at Bran Castle” complemented the original article in her theoretical discussion of the impacts of popular culture on the images held about a destination, and the co-creation of experiences.
