In March, the queen of country music, Dolly Parton, gained attention when she appeared on Beyoncé’s eighth album, Cowboy Carter. Her achievements as a singer include actively working even in her 70s and establishing the Dollywood Foundation to continue various activities.
One of Dolly Parton’s projects is a tourism business in her hometown of Tennessee, USA. Located in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, Dollywood is a theme park she established for her fans. Visitors to the massive theme park can enjoy a variety of attractions and listen to Dolly Parton’s famous songs playing everywhere. According to local officials, Dollywood has transformed the small town of Pigeon Forge into a major tourist spot in Tennessee and has also generated employment opportunities.
On the 24th, Dollywood introduced a new attraction called The Dolly Parton Experience. This exhibit invites visitors to explore her journey from childhood to becoming an iconic American pop star. Spread across three buildings, the exhibit showcases various aspects of her life and career. Furthermore, the Behind the Seams attraction allows visitors to dress up mannequins with wigs, accessories, and stage clothes used by Dolly Parton herself. Dolly Parton expressed her pride in contributing to the local tourism industry, stating, “I am proud to be part of the local tourism business,” according to CNN.
