Study

The event organiser in Gold Coast is seeking to develop a better understanding of attendee motives. From previous iterations of delivering the event, the managers know that attendees can be classified into two primary groups: tourists and non-tourists (definitions provided below). However, the event organisers want to develop understanding of (1) the demographic profile of attendees; (2) Descriptive statistics for each motive tested and identification of key motives for the total sample, tourists and non-tourists; (4) whether the event satisfaction of attendees (tourists and non-tourists) is correlated with peoples intentions to attend the event the following year. To develop this understanding the event organisers canvassed the available literature in two areas: motives for event attendance and tourist motivations for event attendance. From this literature, six motives were identified: Escape, known group socialisation, external group socialisation, novelty, cultural experience, event attraction (each is defined below). In addition, event satisfaction was measured with a common metric (see the questionnaire instrument in tab 2, below) as were future intentions.
