Description

Explore the complex relationship between folklore and modern economics in The Dracula Dilemma by Routledge. Since Bram Stoker published his famous novel in 1897, Transylvania and Romania have become linked to the myth of Count Dracula and the supernatural in the Western imagination. This book examines how this connection shapes the nation today. Since the late 1960s, Western tourists have traveled to Transylvania to find the literary and supernatural roots of the Dracula myth. This phenomenon, known as Dracula tourism, creates a unique situation for the country. On one hand, the Dracula legend serves as a powerful unique selling point that offers significant potential for economic gain through tourism. On the other hand, it presents a dilemma regarding national identity and the role of the state. Part of the New Directions in Tourism Analysis series, this work provides a detailed look at how a literary myth affects a real-world destination. It is an essential read for those interested in how tourism, identity, and the state interact in a modern context.
