The event provides significant information on innovation in the tourism industry through a competition for the best projects awarding either new technologies or new uses of ICT applied to tourism. This may be an area where academ-,ics can engage positively with practitioners. Given the ever-increasing significance of events as an element of enrichment of a tourist choice and one of the fundamental motives for choosing a destination, as well as an ever-increasing amount of research on the topic of event sustainability, in this paper the authors particularly identify events by 2 way of a detailed analysis and the possibility of management impact on raising the quality of a tourist destination. 1.1.Event Management is the application of the management practice of project management to the creation and development of festivals d n a events. In the spirit of critical, engaged academic debate, this paper challenges the following four propositions that emerge from Getz's paper: (1) the state of existing event policy research is underdeveloped; (2) that it is possible to delimit the scope and substance of policy concerns within event studies; (3) neoliberalism has influenced governments to take a predominantly interventionist role in events, principally to secure economic development and prosperity; (4) it is possible for governments to institutionalise an event policy paradigm. �squ��U��d��k���-6'Ԑ��Y�� �7�,q�� Q�VԯW���Е΂`��|�/�O@6���7�v�}@�v>~;�4�`�m�9�h-���U�ڡi Ji ҸU�@��fY I& ɤ�b3��F���tH�QH�-,Ė�6DPPP��Q4,��q� �#hll����(l�W 0000004958 00000 n 0000005582 00000 n 0000004181 00000 n x�u��j�0��~�9��B鵅��V�_@���6�6��"o_�IHK)ba�f�A 2013; Lee and Back 2005; Mair 2012; Mair and Whitford 2013; Yoo and Weber 2005).
