The cases mirror the practices and challenges in the event management industry across the globe – in different regional contexts and cultures – integrating theory with functional and operational perspectives. All are accompanied with teaching notes that explain learning outcomes, theoretical underpinnings, teaching methods, and provide detailed learning activities, questions and tools for analysis and guided assignments.

Cases For Event Management and Event Tourism is a must have collection for all those studying and teaching event management and event tourism. It contextualizes understanding and provides a real life perspective on the theory, models and best practice in the industry.

Part of the Event Management Theory and Methods Series. This series examines the extent to which mainstream theory is being employed to develop event-specific theory, and to influence the very core practices of event management and event tourism. They introduce the theory, show how it is being used in the events sector through a literature review, incorporate examples and case studies written by researchers and/or practitioners, and contain methods that can be used effectively in the real world.
With online resource material, this mix-and-match collection is ideal for lecturers who need theoretical foundations and case studies for their classes, by students in need of reference works, by professionals wanting increased understanding alongside practical methods, and by agencies or associations that want their members and stakeholders to have access to a library of valuable resources. Series editor: Donald Getz PhD., Professor Emeritus, University of Calgary, Canada.
