Who is the owner of this decision? The idea that local events are always an essential component of destination validation lacks clarity in its scope.
The process requires clear approvals and a chain of command to determine relevance.
If the main goal of the trip is not related to the local event, such as an urgent business trip, the event can become a lower-level constraint, or even negligible, not affecting the choice of destination itself.
For example, during an urgent medical visit to Paris, Fashion Week is a logistical consideration for traffic or accommodation, but not a decisive factor for city selection.
