£1.1 billion in music tourism revenue. But who actually benefits? The UK's music tourism boom is incredible - 1.6 million visitors and 6,210 jobs created. But here's the question: how much of that £1.1 billion reaches local, independent artists?

At The Pack, we're not just thinking about streaming revenue - we're thinking about local music ecosystems. When fans discover artists through our platform, they're more likely to:
- Attend local gigs
- Buy merchandise directly from artists
- Support local venues and businesses
- Become part of genuine music communities

This is why our patron-powered model connects local businesses, local listeners, and local musicians. Tourism dollars flowing to major label artists and corporate venues is nice, but sustainable music economies need grassroots support.

Imagine if even 1% of that tourism revenue went directly to the local, original artists who create the authentic music culture that tourists actually want to experience.
