Event tourism is both a sub-field within established
academic streams, in realty at the nexus of tourism and
event studies, and an area of destination management
application. Therefore, we need to draw implications for
event and destination managers, and for the academic
and research community interested in tourism and event
studies.
Fig. 5 provides a framework that can be used by
managers and policy makers to shape their overall understanding
and approach to event tourism, while at the same
time generating many research questions for theory
building. Figs. 6–10 ask both theoretical and practical
questions and together constitute a fairly comprehensive
research agenda
