Event Tourism Geography

Event tourism geography studies how specific events, like festivals, concerts, or sports competitions, influence travel patterns and local economies. It examines how these events attract visitors to particular locations and analyze their impacts on the area, such as infrastructure development and cultural exchange. This field looks at both the spatial aspects—where events are hosted—and the social dimensions—how they affect local communities. By understanding these dynamics, planners can enhance visitor experiences and promote sustainable tourism, ensuring that events benefit both tourists and the host locations.
