The purpose of this research is to analyze the organization of a traditional event. The goal is to determine how visitors evaluate the quality of the event and to what extent they believe that the event is successfully organized and promoted. Through the Google questionnaire posted via Facebook, 188 responses were collected. Based on the answers, it comes to the conclusion on the extent to which the event was successfully organized. Through the survey, it can also be concluded what kind of promotion is via the Internet, primarily on social networks. These conclusions can be of great help to event organizers in order to create a competitive tourism product that can eventually become a hallmark destination. Through the organization of one event, other resources in the destination could also be valorized, and thus develop some more selective forms of tourism, not only manifestations. One of the limitations of work is that only one event "Veseli spust", a manifestation traditionally held in the city of Kraljevo, was analyzed, and not more events of that type.

Purpose - The study aims to examine the impact of service quality dimensions (based on the EVENTQUAL scale) on the revisit intention of sporting event and contrast the perception between first-time and previous participants. Design - The survey was designed to measure EVENTQUAL dimensions as independent variables (accessibility, staff, tangibles and complementary services) and revisit intention as the dependent variable. The moderating variable (type of participation) was also introduced to enable comparison between the perception of first-time (109) and previous participants (97). Methodology - The study implemented quantitative analysis, such as descriptive statistics, structural equation modelling (SEM) and multi-group SEM. Findings - The SEM findings revealed a significant positive effect of tangibles on revisit intention, while multi-group SEM results indicated the significant positive effect of tangibles on revisit intention solely for previous visitors. Originality - The study contributes to the existing knowledge by evaluating the EVENTQUAL model at a multi-site sporting event, acknowledged from the perspective of its participants. Moreover, the rafting event was observed in the context of a sporting event activity in contrast to previous literature in the context of adventure tourism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
