Festivals are now playing a significant role in tourism development. Research indicates that they are the fastest growing tourist attractions. Some events such as the Edinburgh festival, or the carnivals of Rio and Venice are well-established but many Asian and Pacific countries are beginning to take advantage of festivals with good tourism potential. The time is right to examine this field in depth. Please make a list of festivals and make recommendations as to which we should offer our Universiade guests.
