Who owns the decision on the importance of local events? Asserting that they are a “always present” component of the destination validation process is a generalization that ignores the contextual governance.
The impact of these events is not uniform, and their ownership in the decision process must be defined.
For example, for a corporate event with fixed dates, the choice of location will depend primarily on the availability of infrastructure and budget, requiring clear sign-off from stakeholders.
Local events can be a variable to manage, requiring escalation if they threaten the main objectives, but rarely the initial determining factor.
