Who is responsible for the final decision on the importance of local events in destination validation? Asserting that the impact of local events is always a sub-part of planning lacks a clear governance.
Without a sign-off on the traveler’s objectives, a local event can be an asset or an obstacle, such as a conference doubling hotel prices or a festival making a city unmanageable.
Explicit documentation of the role of the event for each trip is necessary, not a default inclusion.
