Communicating Green Innovation to Online Communities: Evidence from Sports Mega Events
Tourism and event organizers implement green innovation to mitigate the negative environmental impacts they cause. However, how to effectively communicate these green innovations to online communities remains a challenge. Drawing on message framing and construal level theories, we collected 503 tweets and used an exploratory sequential mixed-methods approach to analyze the textual data. First , we conducted abductive coding analysis, identifying …
Social impacts of mega-events: A systematic narrative review and research agenda
Whilst the economic costs and benefits of mega-events to host cities and countries are well documented, the evaluation and nature of the social impacts of such events are less clear. Although these social impacts typically include education and skills, destination branding, social cohesion, environmental sustainability and sport development, there is currently a lack of consensus on their measurement and focus upon both benefits and costs. In an …

Events and Sustainability: Can Events Make Places More Inclusive, Resilient and Sustainable
Events and sustainability: Why making events more sustainable is not enough
The special issue dedicated to events and sustainability is introduced here. We provide synopses of the papers, preceded by an introductory essay that examines how event studies has approached the relationship between events and sustainable development. Existing work too often assumes that sustainability means reducing negative environmental impacts with other aspects of the sustainability paradigm neglected. And whilst social issues have risen t…
Who has the right to the rural? Place framing and negotiating the Dungog festival, New South Wales, Australia
Many small towns are using festivals and events as a way to boost tourism, by packaging and marketing existing festivals or by creating new events and festivals to attract tourists and the economic impact that they bring. However, increased mobility and migration, including amenity and lifestyle migrants, are changing the composition of many rural and regional centres, bringing both welcome diversity and potentially less welcome intrusion into es…
Future trajectories of festival research
In their editorial for the first issue of Tourist Studies, Adrian Franklin and Mike Crang made us aware that tourism research had shifted to an exploration of the extraordinary everyday where ‘more or less everyone now lives in a world rendered or reconfigured as interesting, entertaining and attractive – for tourists’. From our standpoint 20 years later, we suggest this particular departure point has important insights to offer our understanding…
Ecosystem services approach for community-based ecotourism: Towards an equitable and sustainable blue economy
This paper examines the role of community-based ecotourism within the developing market dynamics of the blue economy. The blue economy has become synonymous with generating wealth from ocean-related activities while protecting and supporting marine ecosystems. For remote coastal communities and Small Island Developing States, local economic development is a challenging balance between protecting marine biodiversity and maintaining sustainable and…
Social media influence on tourists’ destination choice: Importance of context
While social media receive considerable scholarly attention, studies reveal mixed outcomes in relation to its influence on tourists’ destination choices. There is nonetheless a persistent perception that social media has a fundamental influence on destination choice. However, those studies that do find a social media influence are in contexts where tourists are predisposed to be influenced (the contexts were selected due to social media presence …
The Routledge Handbook of Festivals
Attending festivals as a family can foster bonding, belonging, happiness, and can enhance the family’s quality-of-life (QOL) over time. A family’s ability to attend festivals can be improved if the frame conditions of time and space, money, and rest, health and happiness are in place. Under the surface of the desire to take one’s family to a festival or event there lies, however, a complex decision-making process which is also influenced by perce…
Festival Encounters: Theoretical Perspectives on Festival Events
Festivals and events are of enormous significance to many communities around the world. They can have historic, religious, cultural and traditional significance, and they are also important parts of community building. This book focuses on these small-scale, non-metropolitan events (i.e. rural, regional and peri-urban) to explore the complex relationships between place, community and identity and the ways in which festival events bring these into…
Towards a research agenda for post-disaster and post-crisis recovery strategies for tourist destinations: A narrative review
Events and Sustainability
Increasing concerns over climate and environmental change, the global economic and financial crisis and impacts on host communities, audiences, participants and destinations has reinforced the need for more sustainable approaches to events. Sustainability now features as part of the bid process for many mega-events, such as the Olympic Games, as well as significant regional and local events, where the event organisers are required by funding bodi…

Music Festivals and Social Inclusion – The Festival Organizers’ Perspective
There is growing interest in how festivals can help to build strong and cohesive communities, particularly whether they can reach a broad swathe of the population or operate as enclaves. This article explores ways in which festival organizers may contribute to social inclusion goals through a qualitative phenomenological study of music festivals. Findings suggest that these festival organizers may contribute to social inclusion across four areas …
Exploring Community Festivals and Events
Book abstract:This book for the first time explores the role and importance of ‘community’, ‘culture’ and its impact through festivals and events.

It then questions the social and political nature of festivals and co…

This timely book, uniquely presents a ‘state of the art’ synthesis of the research on both demand and supply sides of the industry as well as insights into how current and future trends are affecting conferences and conventions. This volume provides a critical review…
