The chapter examines the problematic contributions of music tourism to the social and economic development of impoverished tourism destinations in the Caribbean. By analysing the economic returns of viral YouTube videos to the locales in which they were filmed, in this case San Juan’s La Perla neighbourhood and Kingston’s Fleet Street, Gazit and Bruttomesso suggest the need to rethink the obligations of big tech companies to the cultural places that generate so much of their revenues due to the disproportionate financial gains of data mining companies as compared to those of local musicians, venues, and producers.

Abstract

The chapter examines the problematic contributions of music tourism to the social and economic development of impoverished tourism destinations in the Caribbean. By analysing the economic returns of viral YouTube videos to the locales in which they were filmed, in this case San Juan’s La Perla neighbourhood and Kingston’s Fleet Street, Gazit and Bruttomesso suggest the need to rethink the obligations of big tech companies to the cultural places that generate so much of their revenues due to the disproportionate financial gains of data mining companies as compared to those of local musicians, venues, and producers.
