"Roskilde is a break from everyday life"
When Denmark closed due to Covid-19, it had major consequences for the experience industry, including the festivals, which were forced to cancel. Based on a unique study of the Roskilde Festival we learn of the impact of the cancellation for the festivalgoers. Photo credit: Flemming Bo Jensen.

Catch me if you can!
Visitor attractions (VAs) like Events or Festivals are very important factors in choosing a tourist destination and have tremendous economic impact, resulting in increasing numbers of VAs and hence higher competition. To achieve competitive advantages and positive economic effects for destinations and VAs, research evidence is needed regarding beneficial and operable VA success drivers. The lecture provides a summary of a scientific study analysing various drivers of visitor satisfaction at events and festivals.
