The Effects of Hallmark Events on Cities

The 1987 People and Physical Environment Research Conference, 1987, under the theme of the Effects of Hallmark Events on Cities was held in Perth, Western Australia, between June 15-19, 1987. Academics, government officials, recreation and tourism planners and members of private industry from around the Pacific basin gathered at the Observation City Resort Hotel to discuss the nature and impacts of hallmark events. The Conference was organized by the Centre for Urban Research, University of Western Australia. The Conference was opened by the West Australian Minister of Planning, Hon. R. Pearce MLA, who highlighted the importance of hallmark events in tourism and regional planning. The conference was organized around four main areas: (1) sporting events, (2) cultural events/economic studies, (3) urban events/studies, and (4) general theoretical studies. Supplementary to these areas were workshops on hallmark events held along disciplinary lines.
