城镇、村庄和城市越来越热衷于通过节日的推广与游客分享他们的文化、环境和消费机会。这些节日可以带来收入的事实是显而易见的，但游客消费的真正价值要准确计算起来要复杂得多。本文探讨了节日旅游对地方经济可持续发展的贡献。节日类型学的创建大致确定了三种节日类型：“本土”，“游客诱惑”和“大爆炸”。在这里，三个符合类型学的节日是根据环境慈善机构未来论坛创建的可持续当地经济发展活动模型进行分析的。结果表明，虽然节日可能有潜力为可持续的地方经济发展提供机会，但这些机会往往没有得到利用。尽管如此，一些节日场景确实比其他场景更符合当地可持续经济发展活动的模式。本文分析了为什么会这样，并提出了节日旅游对当地经济的贡献可能开始被更好地理解，从而得到改善的方法。
Towns, villages and cities are increasingly keen to share their culture, environment and spending opportunities with visitors by the promotion of festivals. The fact that income can be generated by such festivals is clear but the true value of visitor spend is more complex to calculate with accuracy. This paper considers the contribution of festival tourism to sustainable local economic development. A festival typology is created that broadly identifies three festival types termed 'home-grown', 'tourist-tempter' and 'big-bang'. Here three festivals matching the typology are analysed against the model of sustainable local economic development activity created by the environment charity Forum for the Future. Results suggest that although festivals may have the potential to provide opportunities for sustainable local economic development such opportunities frequently remain unexploited. Nevertheless, some festival scenarios do indicate a closer match to the model of sustainable local economic development activity than others. This paper analyses why this should be and suggests ways in which festival tourism's contribution to local economies might begin to be better understood, and consequently, improved.
