People often attribute an exaggerated importance to local events in travel planning, giving them a weight of 8/10 when in reality they deserve only a 3/10 in practical constraints.
The ratio between the appeal of an event and basic necessities is often inverted, especially as one gets older.
In Germany, for example, proximity to a 24-hour pharmacy or quick access to medical services weighs at least 7/10 in my destination choices.
A beer festival, even if attractive, only weighs 2/10 if health infrastructure does not keep up, which is a significant miscalculation for seniors.
