Abstract
Events and festivals are key elements of the tourism product in many destinations (Getz and Page, 2016). The ability of festivals and events to attract visitors to a host region, and to contribute to its economic and social well-being explains the significance afforded to them in many tourism policies and strategies (Mair and Whitford, 2013). This contribution is a strong justification for public funding of events and festivals (Felsenstein and Fleischer, 2003; O’Hagan, 1992). Thus, in conjunction with tourism, they are becoming a realistic policy option for regional development (Moscardo, 2007; Robinson et al., 2004).
