Event Impact

Beschreibung

Events are increasingly used instrumentally to achieve goals of the entire society such as cultural development, destination branding or economic development. Event impacts are, however, routinely measured from a purely economic perspective. Event Impact fills an important niche and a void in the literature on events by taking a holistic approach, incorporating issues like value creation, experiential value, value measurement, sustainability and impact assessment. It is a unique book that combines methodological concepts and international research to create a comprehensive guide to event impacts. This book was originally published as a special issues of Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism.
