交通部在2001年提出,各地方以辦理地方節慶活動方式,振興國內休閒產業,創造就業機會,並結合公家部門及民營觀光資源、在地農產品,各地方必須主動爭取公家資源以及結合當地之天然、人文之特色,以獲得更佳的競爭優勢,藉由地方行銷突破地方現況的發展困境。地方如何加強行銷,作好目標、分析、規劃、執行、評估等專業化「行銷管理」過程,政府公家部門所扮演的功能及角色相當重要。 優質的節慶活動能爲地方帶來人潮、錢潮,而較差的活動內容反而會造成遊客滿意度的下降,對地方則反而會產生負面評價。所以在規劃節慶活動時的包裝以及使用適當的行銷策略相形之下就顯得相對的重要。節慶活動不但具有高度群聚遊客能力,同時能提高地方知名度,建立市場定位,以增加遊客對當地的旅遊意願。本研究主要採用文獻整理分析法,歸納出目前台灣較爲熱門之地方節慶活動舉辦之概況,可供未來台灣民間想要舉辦節慶活動時之借鏡。
