Abstract: Festivals and events are increasingly important to the tourism industry, especially in regional areas, where the possible sources of gross regional product are more limited than in metropolitan areas.

“…Alongside this development of economic assessment methods work done in Australia shows similar developmental processes resulting in "off-the-shelf" economic impact measurement kits. For example, the DIY Kit produced by Arts Australia (Jackson, Houghton, Russell, & Triandos, 2005) and the software developed by Sustainable Tourism CRC in Victoria (Jago, 2004). However, from my own experience, although such kits have the benefi ts of comparability if widely adopted, they lose the fl exibility needed to create a suitable measurement tool that meets the needs of widely differing events.…”

“…Uma das mais significativas e visíveis alterações é o aumento da taxa de gastos com serviços turísticos resultante da globalização dos destinos, da diversificação cada vez maior da procura e da diferenciação do produto. Muitas regiões atualmente colocam o turismo como uma parte importante e integrante das suas estratégias de desenvolvimento econômico (SINCLAIR, 1998;JACKSON et al, 2005).O turismo tem sido considerado como um dos setores mais importantes em todo o mundo, havendo na literatura um grande consenso quanto ao papel chave que desempenha no desenvolvimento e na competitividade de muitas regiões (ALBERTI & GIUSTI, 2012). Muitos autores reforçam essa ideia, chamando a atenção para as implicações de longo alcance, que o turismo possui como um meio que auxilia o processo de desenvolvimento nacional/regional (KADT, 1991; SHARPLEY, 2002;JACKSON et al, 2005;KIM et al, 2006;FERREIRA, ESTEVÃO, 2009).…”
