“…Accordingly, in the city of Portimão, Portugal local conditions enabled a portfolio of costal sports events to form and build its nautical destination brand (Pereira, Mascarenhas, Flores, & Pires, 2015), while in the case of Barcelona different types of events were combined to attain urban regeneration and global recognition (Richards, 2015). Likewise, it has been shown that rural communities employ an event portfolio approach to achieve regional development (Ziakas & Costa, 2011a), tourism repositioning (Presenza & Sheehan, 2013), and postdisaster recovery (Sanders, Laing, & Frost, 2015).…”

Whilst the use of event portfolios as a multipurpose policy tool is increasing worldwide, academic attention on this phenomenon remains sparse. In response, the purpose of this review paper is to identify the major issues in the use of portfolios by host communities and destinations aspiring to become eventful and delineate the emergent development patterns and strategies. The paper postulates the core dynamics that can enable capacitybuilding in event portfolio development and suggests a network framework for setting up a holistic portfolio policy with systemic management properties. This framework provides a theoretical scaffolding to contextualize the first formalized city portfolio strategies. Based on this discussion, four major issues are identified: portfolio configurations, leveraging, sustainability, and community capacity-building. Policy implications are drawn that theorize the surfacing portfolio development models, design logics and strategic approaches. The effects on social structures are considered in terms of how they determine the longevity, legitimation, and institutional embeddedness of event portfolios. The paper proffers that event portfolios represent a multi-dimensional phenomenon and highly versatile policy tool with manifold configurations. Their sustainable growth requires a shift in event-tourism thinking from the hitherto focus on single major events to managing multiple events for achieving multiple purposes.

“…Attention on portfolio planning also reflects the role of events in broader place-making orientations and policies ( Richards, 2017b ). For example, Sanders, Laing, and Frost (2015) explored the role of portfolios for post-disaster discovery. Walters and Insch (2018) examined how event portfolio narratives contribute to place marketing, while Viol, Todd, Theodoraki, and Anastasiadou (2018) scrutinized the potential of a commemorative portfolio in event tourism.…”

The phenomenon of event portfolio has gradually received acceptance and recognition as host destinations are steadily moving towards assembling multiple events across the calendar to serve multiple policy purposes. This paper reviews all the pertinent literature providing a common ground for studying event portfolios and their management exigencies. It traces the origins of the event portfolio concept and outlines its evolution to date. It thus, maps out event portfolio management as a complex emergent field, establishing its ontological base through convergence of underlying disciplines, theories and concepts. We argue that the integrative nature of event portfolio provides a malleable ground, one across and beyond its parent disciplines that shape it as a transdisciplinary field. This theoretical underpinning is indispensable for the effective treatment and sustainable development of the field.

“…According to Cunha and Abrantes (2013), the main distinguishing factor is the uniqueness of the attraction that attracts visitors. Permanent attractions have a more significant effect on the creation, subsistence, and competitiveness of a place as a tourist destination, because they do not "move" and are not "temporary" like traditional markets (Canavan, 2016;Domènech et al, 2020;Guzman-Parra et al, 2015;Sanders et al, 2015;Zheng et al, 2019).…”

Social, economic, and environment sustainability are more than ever hot topics. Because of their importance in this context, we examine how and why traditional markets play such a critical role in local as well as regional development and sustainability, along with their respective effects. We use a single case methodology based on the internationally awarded case of Barcelos (a northern region of Portugal). The main results show that the traditional market of Barcelos plays a critical role in the region, especially with respect to socioeconomic, environmental, and political and administrative effects. To optimize the role and influence of this traditional market, authors suggest the application of artificial intelligence.
