Abstract

Major event tourism draws tourists to a destination and it can deliver new knowledge to the destination’s management and marketers. This study considers the event tourists visiting a destination to participate in a major international auto racing event, and where local tourism can be embedded around the major event tourism agendas. Major event tourists attend with non-uniform and often personally-driven agendas, and their degrees of local tourism acceptance vary. We divide these event tourists into six psychologically-framed auto racing sport groupings, and look for micro-differences that can enhance future destination tourism.
