The Rebirth of Bourbon: Building a Tourism Economy in Small-Town, USA
By Steve Coomes, Kim Huston & Michael Mangeot
Published by Emerald Publishing, Ltd.
Paperback: $32.99

Bourbon’s popularity is now a global phenomenon, but you need only look at Bardstown, Kentucky, to see its remarkable and evolving impacts. This historic city of 13,500 people is booming as a result, but it’s also enduring growing pains.

The economic impacts from a massive influx of tourists to what is now America’s bourbon epicenter are positive on many levels, but with those crowds comes pressure on infrastructure, services and accommodations. The demand for hotels, bars and restaurants is at an all-time high, and investors from across the globe are addressing those needs.

Still, as a two-century- old Kentucky cultural and entertainment center—long before it was discovered by bourbon drinkers—many locals want to ensure the traditional Bardstown experience doesn’t disappear amid novel entertainment options.
