Introduction
Events are to be found in all societies, and play a crucial role in the lives of their host communities. ... Events can also play a role in shaping a tourism destination and developing alterative tourism resources for a region, city or community. The Tourism NSW Masterplan (1995) identified special events as an important part of the tourism industry because they generate a high level of urgency and trigger the conversion of intention to an actual visit.
Shaping a tourist destination through tourism events
Event tourism is defined by Getz (1991) as the systematic planning, development and marketing of events as tourist attractions, catalysts for other developments, image builders, and animators of attractions and destination areas.
Events can play a number of roles to assist in shaping a tourist destination. As a tourist attraction, events can contribute to the destination’s attractiveness, pull visitors to the destination by motivating and serving as triggers for tourist visits, and also change the type of visitor the destination attracts. ... By staging the event at the appropriate time, tourism events can attract more passing traffic, expand the tourism season, control demand by ironing out peaks and troughs and spread the benefits of tourism in a geographic area.
