Thinking that local events are just a component to validate is a bit narrow; here, in Senegal, these manifestations can redefine an entire trip.
These local manifestations are not just checkboxes, but factors that can completely change the nature of a destination, not just make it more fluid.
For example, an event like the Grand Magal of Touba or the Dakar Biennale not only transforms the atmosphere but also costs and logistics, sometimes reversing the hierarchy of priorities for a traveler.
The validation process of a destination should be more dynamic and recognize that some events can be triggers for travel in themselves or exclusion factors.
