Special Events: A Framework for Efficient Management

摘要

Academic literature suggests that events have a positive contribution to the host area, including both tangible and intangible outcomes. This study reviews the related literature, identifies key issues in events tourism management, and highlights the need for a systematic framework for managing events. The aim is to propose a conceptual framework that enhances efficient events management, in order to optimize their contribution to wider development objectives. From a destination perspective, it is suggested that a value-chain approach and a network analysis could provide an appropriate basis for this exploration model and would contribute to efficient events management, in order to optimize beneficial outcomes.View full textDownload full textKeywordsSpecial events, management, network analysis, conceptual frameworkRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/19368623.2011.562418
