TREES (Tourism Research in Economics, Environs and Society) recently conducted a survey at the 2025 Blomme & Bubbles Festival in Paternoster, hosted by Paternoster Wine & Tasting Lounge. The research captured the voices of festivalgoers to better understand the economic, educational, and social impacts of this vibrant community celebration.
๐ The survey provides valuable insights into how festivals like Blomme & Bubbles foster sustainable development, support local businesses, and strengthen community pride.
This marks the second year of funded research, and already we can see the positive impact: stronger community collaboration, enhanced festival programming, and increased local employment opportunities.
