Task 3 Explain and Evaluate the Social, Environmental and Economic Impacts of R and V
Scenario
The R and V festival now attracts over 30,000 people each year. These festival goers stay for several
days and increase Gisborne’s population by almost 50%. Initially, in the first few years there were
issues that caused some disruption for local residents and this created some ill feeling. R and V
organisers and the Gisborne City Council worked hard to fix these issues. Today the majority of locals
now support this event.
Identify what social and economic factors the Gisborne City Council and Event organisers realised
were important to ‘get right ‘ to continue keeping local residents happy to host the R and V festival
and explain how they did this?
