The social sub-areas of leisure and tourism not only have similarities in their origins, but also similar motives for pursuing them. The increasing interest of the population in both areas and the urge for experiences and adventures and the change from a material- to a post-material-oriented society, finds its satisfaction in leisure time as well as in tourism. Due to the new experience society, events in tourism are becoming more and more important in order to offer something artificial, short-term and special in addition to the permanent, long-term tourist offer. The aim of this book is to make a comprehensive inventory of the relationship between leisure, tourism and events in order to create recommendations for action.
