“Traveling to experience the places and events that authentically represent the stories and people of the past and present.” is defined as cultural heritage tourism. And it is the fastest-growing segment of the tourism industry.

Each year, there are millions of carnivals, events, and parties held in different parts of the world. Those iconic festivals/events can serve as a powerful tool to attract tourists and create an image and awareness for a specific country.

So, we decided to highlight some of the most visited iconic events happening this year across the globe.
