Introduction
T in the Park is a music event which takes place every year which is usually held on the second week of July. This event is growing more and more popular as the year’s go on and as soon as the tickets are available it is almost an instant sell-out. This music event was first held at StrathClyde Country Park, it has now moved to Balado Airfield, Kinross in Perth. I chose this event as it is extremely popular and attracts many tourists, it also is a chance for me to identify the impacts this event has on several things as well as the advantages and disadvantages it brings. Throughout this report I will mention the Social and Cultural, Environmental and Tourism impacts TITP brings also the strategic planning which needs to be put into place to make this event a success.
Social and Cultural Impact
TITP has a massive effect on the social impact for the organisers, tourists and the people who attend this music festival. TITP can allow people from all over the world to have a shared experience and show there interest and love for music. This music festival also brings the community of Kinross together and allows them to have pride for where they live and the history and tradition this event brings. Although sometimes if the Kinross community have a negative image or their first impressions are not good enough for tourists, this could damage the impact this event brings every year. However TITP is situated in a rather excellent place as this event has been going on for years now and it is only becoming more and more popular and expanding as time goes on.
This music event also increases the participation of the community. This is such a magnificent affect as it is sometimes rather difficult for event organisers to get such a
