THE SIGNIFICANCE OF EVENTS FOR REGIONAL DESTINATIONS

Tourism and events are symbiotic. Events give people a reason to travel to destinations.

Successful tourism strategies increase attendee numbers, and broaden the reach and boost the reputation of events which enhances the visitor experience

Destinations want events that bring to life the destination’s brand, and reinforce local values and the destination’s strengths. Events can change people’s perception of a destination - and can be used purposefully to do so.
