The economic growth of the nation, area, or town where these artistic or cultural activities are typically held is boosted by art and cultural tourism. In addition to providing outstanding artists with a platform to display their abilities, art tourism draws valuable commerce to the location where it is promoted. A city’s identity cannot exist without art. Aside from generating income for the state or region, art tourism also strengthens the local economy, promotes non-art enterprises, and creates employment opportunities.

The frequent visits of tourists to the hotels in the town where the events are taking place pushes hoteliers to infuse their establishment with a local flavor. To accommodate a growing number of tourists, hotel owners also enable local artists to display their talent in their establishments. Many times, art-related events are organized to raise money for a worthwhile cause. The funds raised from visitors in exchange for entry tickets are either donated to non-profit organizations as financial support for their selfless work or utilized to educate underprivileged children.
