If I argued the opposite thesis, I would say that the impact of local events on a destination is so powerful that it must imperatively be a validation criterion, influencing everything from hotel prices to the overall atmosphere.
However, this focus on the omnipresence of event impact neglects the reality of priorities and budgets of many families.
For a family just seeking relaxing and economical vacations, a local music festival that inflates prices is not a decisive factor to change destination, but a constraint to bypass or absorb if the dates cannot be shifted.
Budget flexibility and travel objectives, such as simply visiting family or resting, are often more influential than the presence of an event.
We cannot always adapt our schedule to an event calendar, especially with family or professional constraints.
