The design and realization of events has become an important activity because it can accelerate the growth of European tourist destinations. The events provide a new demand for goods and services, which, in addition to local consumption, leads to an increase in revenues and employment. Moreover, when an event becomes an attractor, it generates new motivations for visiting a destination in addition to the traditional ones, which are linked to the presence of natural resources. The aim of this edition of summer school is to know and to compare the (economic, social and environmental) impacts of an event through the lessons of some professors and experts on this matter.
