“…Taking into consideration of vacationers' known inclination for image postings (Busalim, 2016), this loom is apt to lift shared commotion on TMs facebook pages. Furthermore, inserting such photos and clips in judgment survey during events and calamities vivifies the repute of their tourist sites by generating encouraging word-of-mouth branding (Getz and Page, 2016;Hristov and Zehrer, 2015;Pearce, 2015;Same and Solarte-Vasquez, 2014;Wozniak, Stangl et al, 2016).…”

“…According to contemporary considerations, the analysis and the prediction of demand for the specific events or events in certain areas (that include rural areas, as well) partly depend on the distribution (the number of inhabitants), as well as, on the possible interventions and competition on the market (Getz, Page, 2016). Development of rural areas by expanding manifestational tourism, besides economic, includes both social and political significance, because the presence of foreign tourists apart from the realized "invisible export" through the foreign currency influx, also contributes to the better comprehension of the culture, the way of life, better comprehension of different nations, visitors of the manifestation from the different countries, but also getting to know the local population, thus pointing out the phenomenon of "socialization" as a one of the more prominent motivators when choosing the manifestation that the visitor wishes to see.…”

“…Destinations on the basis of specific event-tourism-strategy can point out the advantages, correct disadvantages or find possibilities for realizations of the set objectives and minimize threats. It is only significant that the event tourism strategy should be integrated within an overall destination tourism strategy or strategy on the national level (Getz, Page, 2016).…”

Аbstract: Touristically speaking, the rural areas of Serbia are not fully researched, hence there exist viewpoints that say that by the development of manifestational tourism the touristic potential of such areas can be raised to the higher level and be better presented to the foreign touristic market. The result of the previously stated would be the increase of the touristic demand-scale, and an effect on the decrease of negative demographic processes and preventing migration of young people from rural to urban areas, as well. Touristic Manifestation "Guča Trumpet Festival" with over 55 years of tradition presents one of the most prominent domestic brands recognizable in the world touristic market. Methodological contribution of the paper consists of displaying the terrainresearch results carried out in 2015 and an overview of the interdependence of the main motives that attract foreign visitors to this manifestation and the local-people's demographic characteristics, with an intention of pointing out the suggestion for improving the rural area developmental conditions. Data analysis was carried out in the package program for statistical analysis and the data processing (SPSS 20.00) and was based on the population registry, granted from National Statistical Service of Republic of Serbia. The gathered data have shown that the studied manifestation can play a role in the revitalization of the Dragačevo area, primarily because it is interesting to foreign visitors and generally foreign visitors are interested in longer stays if the more significant touristic offer is rendered, including the touristic values in the vicinal regions.

“…[Such as] conflicting use of social space; cultural change; cultural commodification or disharmonious resident-tourist or destination-tourism relations" (p. 151). Despite this knowledge, Getz (2008Getz ( , 2012 highlighted how little empirical research exists on the strains the "touristification" of small heritage-based festivals inimitable community spirit and sense of identity, and an increasingly commodified tourism industry (Derrett, 2003;Getz, 2007Getz, , 2008Getz & Page, 2016;Hart Robertson, 2015). Arguing for the need to capture the salient, unique features of such an event, the article delivers a model of stakeholder participation for embedding "new knowledge" to ensure the event continuity and the community's well-being (Andersson & Getz, 2008;Beard, 2014;Dredge & Whitford, 2010;Getz, Anderson, & Larson, 2007;Richards, 2015).…”

Ashbourne Royal Shrovetide Football (ARSF) is a sporting event that occurs yearly on Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday in the market town of Ashbourne, in Derbyshire. Sometimes referred to as "mob football," Shrovetide can arguably be perceived as the quintessential sensorial and fully immersive event, being played out across town and involving the entire community. The event is also a unique tourism spectacle and a tool for tourism destination positioning. This article presents some of the results of a larger study that looks at challenges in the matter of events safety and the impacts that this has on event survival and the sustainable development of local communities. Findings highlight the need to support communities to learn from events in order to preserve them as they are essential for the maintenance of a unique and inimitable community identity.
