Abstract

Governments, according to Mason (2008) and Tassiopoulos (2005) are frequently referred to as the public sector of the events industry. The role of the public sector however in many countries has what seems, at face value, to be contradictory. Governments not only try to regulate events but also have a role in the marketing of events.
