Tourism destinations actively pursue hosting a portfolio of events regularly, aiming to establish themselves as distinct host destinations. All of these events take place in unique contexts; offering diverse experiences to participant groups. Music festivals and concerts have attracted the interest of researchers given the diversity of musical styles and target audiences. Although being a globally popular musical style, choir events are however, underrepresented. This article describes participant segments of the World Choir Games held in South Africa; a first for the African continent. A post-event online survey was used to collect data from 384 performers. Psychographic variables were used to segment the groups (perceived event experiences, motivations, level of involvement and attachment, host city perceptions). Exploratory factor analysis identified two involvement, four motivational and five event experience dimensions. Hierarchical cluster analysis distinguished between three groups labelled as Choristers,Exploring aficionados and Followers. Across all segments, hedonia (enjoyment) remained the main motivator for participation. The first two segments had the same levels of involvement and attachment, as well as the desire to experience triumph and prestige associated with this worldclass competition. However, participants who had a greater interest in enjoyment, destination exploration, mastery and communitas, reported greater perceived experiences across alldimensions, and more positive host city perceptions. The third segment displayed significantly lower levels of motivation, experiences and host city perceptions. The results highlight experience dimensions that warrant further investigation in the context of performers as opposed to audiences. This knowledge assists event organizers to adapt event marketing and programmecontent for similar events.

This paper examines participatory sport event (PSE) organisers’ perceptions of, and interactions with the communities in which they host events. Internationally, PSEs are burgeoning in popularity and may be strategically leveraged to promote positive economic and social development in host locations. Yet little is known about who organises such events, or how PSE organisers approach their interactions with event hosting communities.Further, it remains unclear if/how PSE organisers may contribute to broader strategic event leveraging activities. Twenty-two in-depth interviews were conducted with PSE organisers in the United Kingdom. The results indicate all interviewees value effective relationships withhost community stakeholders, although those organising events for-profit tended to regard stakeholder interaction in highly instrumental terms. Many organisers viewed the production of beneficial outcomes from their events as integral to ensuring community support. While organisers expressed a sense of responsibility to ‘do the right thing’ when interacting with stakeholders, it was those who organised events in the location where they lived whoexhibited greatest concern for production of benefits in the host community. This research has implications for smaller cities/locations seeking to build sustainable event portfolios as a strategy for economic or social development and may help guide decisions around whichevents are selected and why.

For most arts practitioners, going on tour with their shows or to participate in international arts festivals and events is an essential part of developing their careers. An event travel career (ETC) is formed when people are serious enough about their leisure interests to travel to participate in related events. Existing studies on event travel career, are focused on the serious sport tourists. This study employs an arts-informed life history approach to gain insights into the constraints and facilitators of the ETCs of 19 Singaporean arts practitioners. The theory of serious leisure, social worlds and the event travel career concept provide a framework to qualitatively examine their ETCs. In an integrative framework constructed from their lives lived, the participants’ membership in their social worlds emerged as the key driver throughout the development of their ETCs. The findings also draw attention to the emergence of new social worlds’ leaders and stakeholders in attracting serious event travelers to new social worlds destinations, and recommend that destination marketers and event managers work with them for future planning in event tourism marketing.
对于大多数艺术从业者来说，巡回演出或参加国际艺术节和活动是他们职业发展的重要组成部分。当人们认真对待自己的休闲兴趣，去参加相关的活动时，就形成了event travel career (ETC)。现有的关于赛事旅游职业生涯的研究，主要集中在严肃的体育游客身上。本研究采用艺术生活史的方法来深入了解19名新加坡艺术从业者的ETCs的制约因素和促进因素。严肃休闲理论、社交世界理论和事件旅行职业概念为定性地考察大学生的ETCs提供了一个框架。在一个从他们的生活中构建的综合框架中，参与者在他们的社会世界中的成员身份成为整个ETCs发展的关键驱动力。研究结果还提醒人们注意，新兴社交世界的领导者和利益相关者正在吸引严肃的活动旅行者前往新兴社交世界目的地，并建议目的地营销人员和活动管理人员与他们合作，规划未来的活动旅游营销。

The recent situation with COVID-19 led to significant changes in the event industry and forced event planners to organize virtual events. However, virtual events are lacking social interactions and are characterized by lower levels of engagement. This study aims at exploring relationships between event types and attendees’ behavioral intentions using experimental design. The measurement model fit and constructs’ validity were assessed with Confirmatory Factor Analysis, while the study hypotheses were tested with the Structural Equation Modelling. The results demonstrate that event types have significant effects on attendees’ risk perceptions that influence attendees’ visit intentions. The study also revealed significant moderating effects of attendees’ age on the relationship between event type and visit intentions. The study provides important theoretical and managerial implications by introducing new factors affecting attendees’ behavioral intentions amid the COVID-19 pandemic, describing the relationship between risk perceptions and attendees’ behavioral intentions, and providing practical recommendations for event planners.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the perceived impacts of COVID-19 in participating in academic events, relating the attractiveness of destinations and tourist opportunities as pull factors. Remote communication technologies have also been put into perspective to understand how they can influence future participation in events. A Partial Least Squares (PLS) was used to test both research model and hypotheses. This study supports that COVID-19 has profoundly affected participation in events and has an impact on the attractiveness of the destination and tourist opportunities. During the pandemic context, remote communication technologies have replaced physical presence at events and are expected to continue to be present in future events. However, it is anticipated that technology will not permanently replace physical presence at events, due to the social character it represents. Also, destination attractiveness, and tourist opportunities will be important in the decision to participate in physical events. This paper addresses the current topic of COVID-19 and the impact on the future of physical events and gives some indicators that may contribute to a better planning of destinations in the recovery of this sector, namely by enhancing the tourist attractiveness of destinations as pull factor.

Festivals are significant contributors to the visitor economy at local, regional and global scales. Regardless of their scale, festivals consume resources such as energy, water, land and food, and produce wastes in the form of wastewater/sewage, food scraps and garbage such as plastics, paper and cardboard, aluminium and glass. As such, every festival has an environmental footprint. However, it is only in the last decade or so that the environmental impacts of festivals and their concomitant levels of ecological sustainability have been of concern to organising bodies and participants. The study described in this paper examines the sustainability practices of a sample of Australian festivals through a systematic content/thematic analysis of their websites. Key questions to be explored are (i) to what extent do Australian festival organisers disclose information about sustainability on their websites? (ii) are there any discernible patterns across the sample concerning sustainability and festival type? (iii) what kind of information concerning sustainability practises is shared by these festivals and events on their websites? and (iv) what navigational pathways are required to find this information? The paper provides a snapshot of current practice in relation to sustainability and as such generates new understandings of, and insights into, the extent to which Australian festivals are engaging with sustainability. The findings provide a baseline from which to benchmark festivals as well as identify any patterns or trends across contemporary Australian festivals with respect to sustainability.

This study examined cultural event motivations from a market segmentation perspective to better understand why visitors engage in cultural event activity and their perceived quality of cultural event offerings. Motivational scales customised to the special event context were used. A total of 518 completed surveys were used for the analysis. The results of a cluster analysis clearly identified four clusters (segments) according to their motivations: mass visitors, enthusiast visitors, activities visitors and inactive visitors. This study provides future academic research opportunities pertaining to the application of cultural event motivational scales. Event organisations can apply these results to the development of effective target market strategies.

Movie induced tourism is significant for destination marketing. Although various studies have analyzed movie induced tourism in the past, none of the earlier studies have investigated the movie induced tourism for Bollywood movies. The present study fills the gap and examines the Movie induced tourism for Bollywood movies. The data has been collected for a total of 86 Bollywood movies, and the tourist location it promotes in the movie. The study further employs the event study methodology to understand the influence of the release of the movies on the number of tourists visiting the particular location. The results of the event study suggest that the tourism of a specific place is highly influenced by the movies and thus validated the Movie induced tourism for Bollywood movies. The findings of the study could be used to promote lesser-known regions by portraying them in Bollywood movies and then by subsequent promotions.

Mega-sporting events have long been perceived as an exciting way to gather people to attend the performance of top athletes and as a chance for stakeholders to benefit from various kinds of impacts. However, sport events are now facing increasing criticism. The goal of this study is to examine how organizing committees can benefit from the destination image to positively influence sport events’ image and intention to recommend. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the literature the following variable have been measured: destination image, event image, event recommendation, tourist satisfaction. During the UEFA Euro 2016 held in France, 725 questionnaires were collected. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to test the construct validity, followed by a SEM to test the hypothesized relations. We found that destination image positively influences event image, and that event image positively influences event recommendation and tourist satisfaction. However, destination image did not have a significant influence on tourist satisfaction. This study points out the need for sport events’ right holders to pay attention to image factors in selecting the host territory since the latter can influence the perception of the event.

Working-class evictions and displacements have been documented for several Olympic Games (Burbank, et al., 2002; Cohre, 2007; Zimbalist, 2015), pointing to the role of the International Olympic Committee in contributing to an increase in human rights violations. This article aims to report and to discuss an eviction process carried out by the government of the city of Rio de Janeiro during the preparations of the 2016 Olympic Games. The focus is on the community of workers from Vila Autodromo (Barra da Tijuca), who endured a long process of displacements between 2009 and 2016 and is, to date, the only worldwide documented community that has resisted a displacement process during an Olympic Games. Interviews conducted with Vila Autodromo’s residents and supporters lead to the conclusion that the Games were used as a mechanism for major infrastructural changes in Barra da Tijuca to increase the land values for private gains.
在几届奥运会上都有工人阶级被驱逐和流离失所的记录(Burbank等，2002;居住权中心,2007;Zimbalist, 2015)，指出国际奥委会在促进侵犯人权行为增加方面的作用。本文旨在报道并讨论里约热内卢市政府在2016年奥运会筹备期间实施的驱逐过程。重点是来自Vila Autodromo (Barra da Tijuca)的工人社区，他们在2009年至2016年期间经历了漫长的流离失所过程，是迄今为止世界上唯一一个在奥运会期间抵制流离失所过程的记录社区。对Vila Autodromo的居民和支持者的采访得出的结论是，奥运会被用作Barra da Tijuca主要基础设施变化的机制，以增加土地价值以获得私人利益。
