This is a type of tourism in which trips are timed to coincide with certain events. Events may relate to culture, sports, or business.
The concept of event tourism can be associated not only with events of a public nature, but also with events from the personal life of each person. This can be organizing a wedding ceremony, celebrating one's own anniversary or a company's birthday – that is, any memorable date or event for a person. Such trips remain in the memory as one of the brightest moments in life!
