festival tourism

Festival tourism refers to traveling to different destinations to attend cultural, music, food, or arts festivals. It combines the excitement of exploring new places with the enjoyment of unique events. Festivals create opportunities for visitors to experience local traditions, interact with communities, and enjoy entertainment. They can significantly boost local economies by attracting tourists who spend on accommodation, dining, and shopping.
