The idea that local events 'unify' trip planning is an excessive simplification that ignores the real constraints of people.
It assumes everyone can adapt or benefit from these events, which is rarely the case.
Imagine a part-time worker trying to visit Paris during the Olympic Games: prices soar, transports are saturated, making a simple weekend impossible due to budget and time.
For many, these events are not opportunities but obstacles to be bypassed.
We need to consider the impact on those with limited income or strict schedules, not just wealthy tourists.
