6)Comment on the amount of tourism benefits received by the host city of the chosen event

Political benefits that will receive by the host city are that Singapore will gain more recognition from other countries. Singapore is a very small country and if they are able to successfully and sustainably continue this type of big festival yearly more countries will take Singapore into consideration for any event that they may want to hold in the future. It also helps to show that Singapore is capable of doing what other bigger countries are capable of doing or even better. With this Singapore will be more respected by other countries. If Singapore is able to Sustain Singapore art Festival as well as Matthew Street Music Festival it will be a great success for Singapore.

Economic benefits will also be present as it will definitely help to boost the economics of Singapore. Many factors will help to lead to the growth of Singapore economic either directly or indirectly. Either ways it will be beneficial to Singapore. The increases in economics come from the tourists who are visiting Singapore during the festival. When they come to see the festival they will usually stay more than one day in Singapore. Therefore they will be spending money on the hotel rooms they are staying. While staying in the restaurant they will be using the food and beverages outlet and other facilities. When they go for an event of the festival they will usually have to pay for the ticket and other things. The spillover effects go on and on which will generate lots of revenue for Singapore.

Social benefits will be that it can help to promote racial harmony and also let others learn about the different culture and heritage of foreign country. Singapore is a multi nation society and they will be interested to know what are the origins and story behind a certain festival or special days. Others may also be interested in the culture of other countries therefore with the help of this festival it will help to learn and understand about a new culture or way of life. Cultural exchange would also be done as the workers interact with some of the performers. Some performers may even learn something new from the foreign performers and the foreign performers will also learn something from the local performers. This will help to increase the diversification of culture in Singapore and really create Singapore into a multi cultural nation. If I have the chance I would like to know more about the different culture of the world too.

Technological benefits will be the new technology that may be brought here by the foreign performers. Due to the fact that different performers favor different equipment they may bring their own equipment that the locals may not have seen before. If they are able to learn how to use it they will gain some knowledge and help them in their future job. Once the management has contact with the new technology they may find it to be better than what they have and want to change their equipment and at the same time adding some upgrade to it which will increase the technology of Singapore.

Other benefits is that the management and staff can learn other things from the foreign performers as well such as learning how to cater better to the audience and spectators. Some countries are known to be very polite and friendly to everyone they meet like Japan and Korean. The staff could learn from them and make the spectators happier. The performers may even give some ideas on how to improve the festival so as to make the next festival bigger and more successful. The management will also get an experience on what it is like to handle such a festival and also be more familiar with it the more they manage the festival.
