Topic: Cultural Tourism: Regionalism
A growing trend within the tourism industry has been to focus regionally on an area’s cultural appeal. Programs and initiatives that package a region’s history and cultural contributions, such as the American South’s musical history, have become increasingly popular and profitable. Rural communities can benefit greatly from regionalism because it enables them to pool resources and assets that span a broad geographic area.

U.S. Regional Arts Organizations
The U.S. Regional Arts Organizations are six nonprofit entities created to encourage development of the arts and to support arts programs on a regional basis. Funded by the NEA, these organizations, which include Arts Midwest, Mid-America Arts Alliance, Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, New England Foundation for the Arts, South Arts, and Western States Arts Federation, provide technical assistance to their member state arts agencies, support and promote artists and arts organizations, and develop and manage arts initiatives on local, regional, national and international levels.
