Let us avoid rushing to hasty conclusions about the universal impact of local events, because the exit condition for this kind of planning is more nuanced than it appears.
Saying that their influence is "drastic" for all trips ignores the reality that for many, dates are fixed and choices are limited.
For my patients in medical deserts who can rarely afford to choose their vacation dates, it is not a decisive factor but a constraint they absorb, even if it means adjusting their food budget.
Their ability to escape downsides depends much more on their personal situation than on the event itself.
Many must prioritize school dates or transport costs relative to a festival.
