“…Such measures might include both voluntary and non-voluntary measures. As suggested by Hazel and Mason (2020), voluntary measures might relate to changing the residents attitudes and behavior through social marketing undertaken collaboratively by the government, non-profit organizations, and the festival organizers through promoting the benefits of behaving in environmental friendly ways that will have a trickle down effects on the festival. Non-voluntary measures that can be set by the government might include banning of littering within the festival grounds or the use of biodegradable materials for drinks and food during the festival, reducing its environmental pollution ‘footprint'.…”

“…Starting from Polonsky [4], the stakeholder theory has been repeatedly used by many researchers [5][6][7][8][9] in the corporate environmentalism area. As the concern for environmentalism continues to grow, managers need to understand their relationship with different stakeholder groups and the impact of these groups on their ability to incorporate environmental strategies [10]. Hence, we have proposed an extended model based on the corporate environmentalism model [8] by integrating internal and external stakeholders' perspectives.…”

“…On the contrary, McNamara et al (2018) found strategies rooted in softer forms of power such as attraction and inducement to be effective in mobilising resources for large-scale events. Other empirical studies show that stakeholder strategies tend to be largely collaborative (Hazel and Mason, 2020; van Niekerk, 2016; Yaghmour and Scott, 2009). In a more recent study, sports fans and participants were found to seek control of their game experience by establishing and engaging in game rituals, and by using positive or negative word-of-mouth to reward or punish management (Erhardt et al , 2019).…”

“…Events are dependent on external stakeholders for various resources (Getz and Andersson, 2010; McNamara et al , 2018). The event stakeholder literature suggests that different stakeholders have different hindering and facilitating potential that can influence the sustainability and survival of the event (Clarke and Jepson, 2011; Hazel and Mason, 2020; van Niekerk and Getz, 2019). In particular, the position of event external stakeholders is much harder to determine than that of internal stakeholders (van Niekerk, 2016), pointing to the importance of understanding how external stakeholders might exercise their influence in events.…”
