Festival and Event Tourism Impacts provides a comprehensive review and analysis of the multi-faceted impacts that festival and events have on a host community, whether positive or negative, and offers recommendations for communities for the successful management of this kind of tourism.
Opening chapters define festival and event tourism impact concepts utilized in the field and their evolution throughout the years, followed by an exploration of the current issues facing communities. The second part discusses sustainability and environmental issues that affect destinations and communities as a result of festival and event impacts. Subsequent chapters outline further impacts and finally address cutting-edge event tourism development and impact management strategies and considerations such as innovative management approaches, sustainability, and social responsibility, for example, and identify future trends and issues within a multidisciplinary global perspective. A variety of geographical locations are exemplified throughout as well as a range of diverse event types including the Formula One Grand Prix in Monaco, Pope Francis’ visit to Mauritius in 2019, and the 29th Summer Universiade in Taiwan, among many others.
Drawing on the knowledge and expertise of highly regarded academics from around the world, this will be of great interest to all upper-level students and researchers in Tourism, Hospitality, Events, and related fields.
'Festivals and events can be either core tourist products or supporting ones based on their position in a tourist destination’s product basket. Whatever the role they play, festivals and events as part of a tourist product should be developed and perceived in a competitive business manner and it is important to know how to handle and program or manage a festival or an event and the impacts they create. In this sense, this is a very comprehensive book on broadening our understanding on festivals and events both for the academia and the industry. I am very confident to suggest this valuable work to my colleagues and to add my course reading lists both for the undergraduates and postgraduates.'
