Abstract

The importance of events for urban development is discussed by many experts. This paper emphasizes the economy impact of event tourism industry for local communities. In this article, some cases from the literature of event tourism and their findings were reviewed. This paper examines the important factors affecting the role of event tourism and its progress and prospects for the tourism and hospitality industry. Specifically, this paper aims to investigate the importance of tourism events to promote urban development. A model is proposed based on the concept of shared economy as well as shared values related to the tourism and hospitality industry. The overall conclusion is that city events affect the host community primarily by increasing the sharing economy. The cash addition is important but not at the level that could trigger city development. Thus, the impact on the local people must be central to event management for promoting destination development. Further research needs to be conducted to advance the theory in event tourism.
