Festival Tourism – Economic Power Between Vacation and Experience

When festivals become an integral part of holiday planning, they
generate a strong boost for regional economies.


This panel explores the intersection of tourism and festival
attendance – for example, a two-week summer vacation in the sun
combined with a music festival.


What effects does this have on local businesses, accommodations,
gastronomy, and transport providers? How do service providers
from across Europe contribute to the efficient implementation of
temporary festival infrastructure – from travel to accommodation?
And how can organizers bring festival formats to new regions and
inspire their loyal communities to follow?
