Abstract

This Master's Project was conducted in partial fulfillment for a Master of Science Degree in Arts Management from the University of Oregon. The following document details the research conducted for this intrinsic case study of the role of the Nebraska Arts Council in Omaha Cultural tourism. In framing the context of the study, a review of pertinent literature was performed in the areas of defining cultural tourism, emerging trends, benefits of cultural tourism partnerships, representation, state agencies and tourism, and tools for success. The findings of the study are presented as a synthesis of interview and questionnaire outcomes in conjunction with the literature review. This study concludes with a discussion of recommendations for (1) Omaha arts and cultural entities, (2) the Greater Omaha Convention and Visitors Bureau, and (3) further investigation.
