Before validating a destination, considering local events is not always the decisive factor as implied.
The mandate is to manage risks, and sometimes, the impact of events is manageable, not an absolute blocker.
For example, high accommodation prices due to a festival can be mitigated by staying outside the central area, just as carpooling can be used for an interview.
Planning can often be adjusted to avoid the worst, instead of rejecting the destination entirely, limiting the financial drawdown.
