“…Furthermore, for these evaluations of attractions or events mostly only the expenditure at the destination is considered while expenditure on the trip or in the source area is disregarded. In general, the economic impact of an event/ attraction is likely inversely related to the distance from its location in space (Gelan 2003). Additional insights into the spatial aspects of the economic effects of tourism can be found in several, mostly case study contributions (e.g.…”

The economic relevance of tourism has been proven by numerous studies using various theoretical constructs and methodological approaches. This introduction to the special issue provides an overview of the different concepts of the economic effects of tourism and distinguishes their most relevant influencing factors. Often overlooked influences are the geographical scale and the cost side of tourism. A special focus of this paper lies on a further determinant of economic impact of utmost importance: visitor spending. The role of visitors' expenditure behavior is comprehensively reviewed using an extensive literature 170Marius Mayer, Luisa Vogt base. Thus, we are able to identify the most important driving factors of visitor expenditure in tourism in a generalizable and systematic way.

“…Event types taken into consideration for the purpose of this research are based on event form or content classifications (Getz 2008, Derret 2005, Carlsen 2007, Fawzy 2008, Gelan 2003, Bozman, Kurpis and Frye 2010, and on event classification and definitions set out in the EMBOK programme (Rutherford Silvers 2006). Event types are therefore divided as follows: art events, cultural events, sports and recreational events, tourist events, business events, religious events, environmental events, and educational and scientific events.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to examine the event experience in the context of event attendees (visitors) and event participants, as well as the relationship between the intensity of the experience and a repeat visit to the event. Design -Objectives of the research are: 1) to analyse if event experience vary depending on the type of event, 2) to analyse if event experience of event attendees differs from those of event participants, 3) to analyse if event experience differ depending on of attendees and participants' gender, 4) to determine impact of participants and visitors' intensity of the event experience on their repeated visit. Methodology -Data was collected though three different self-complete questionnaires on a sample of 185 visitors and 276 participants of events held in tourist destination Vrsar, in Istria County. Research was conducted from March through September 2015. Approach -The research methodology was based on two fundamental approaches which include the use of descriptive and inferential analyses. Hypotheses were tested using Pearson Chi-Square Test, Kruskal Wallis test and Mann-Whitney tests with Bonferroni correction. Findings -Events' visitors and participants have different experiences on different type of events. A more detailed analysis showed that different experiences vary depending on events' visitors and participants' gender and type of event (sports, cultural or artistic). Analysis of impact of event experiences on repeated visits shows that increases of experience intensity have impact on repeated visits. Originality of the research -In the paper, the relationship was determined between the experience intensity and a repeat visit to the event, which means that a high quality designed event is the basis of the sustainable development of the event.

“…Sun (2005) na příkladu výzkumů v národních parcích ukazuje, jakým způsobem může ovlivnit výsledky šetření nevhodně zvolená lokalita nebo termín dotazování. Gelan (2003) se zabývá metodikou dotazníkových šetření s ohledem na cílovou skupinu respondentů. Šetření totiž může vedle návštěvníků probíhat také mezi zástupci soukromých společností, jako jsou restaurace, ubytovací zařízení, provozovatelé turistických atraktivit, maloobchodníci, taxislužby, apod.…”
