<p>I need some data about how big international classical music tourism is in terms of spending and how much tourists' passion for music economically affects their behaviour when they travel.</p>

It's just very vague. I have no idea what data regarding _how much tourists' passion for music economically affects their behaviour when they travel_ would look like. I suppose data requests are within the scope of this site -- there is a tag, after all -- but, for me, this is just too vague to get a good answer here. I'll be proven wrong if a good answer is posted!

Could you please define - what is this "music tourism" ? // sidenote: i'm not sure any data for it exists, but you can try to salvage ticket concert purchases among non-citizens ...

The European Commission produces reports on tourism as part of its Eurobarometer surveys, which you can find here: <http://ec.europa.eu/public_opinion/index_en.htm>. If you do a bit of searching you might find some useful data in these reports. For example, a report of European's attitudes towards tourism can be found here: <http://ec.europa.eu/public_opinion/flash/fl_370_en.pdf>.
