Event tourism occupies one of the leading places among other types of tourism. It provides the possibility to make a stable profit both to its organizers and to the countries where these events take place. It should be noted that any event requires appropriate conditions – tourism infrastructure, in which it will be implemented with the maximum positive result for all participants in the tourism sphere, which generally differs from other types of economic activity by an increased degree of risk due to seasonality, variability of demand from consumers of tourist products, etc. The state of uncertainty in the case of tourism infrastructure in general and on the example of event tourism in particular can be overcome by supplementing the existing types of classification of event tourism with new additional types, namely: «by frequency of conduct» (one-time and repeated); «by the venue» (permanent and transitional); «depending on the season» (dependent and independent). These additional types of classification will allow the authorities (several countries, a separate country, region, locality) that manage the entities of tourism activities – tourism and recreation centers, event organizers, producers of services and goods (including tourist goods), intermediaries represented by tour operators and travel agents to understand the amount of necessary transformations of the existing tourism infrastructure, subject to its existence or works on its creation. This, in turn, will help in the future to hold events that will bring profit and/or increase the image of tourism and recreation centers, will facilitate the development of other types of tourism through the use of already created or transformed tourism infrastructure, which is no less important than natural, historical, cultural and other anthropogenic recreational and tourism resources. As for potential consumers, the proposed additional types of classification of event tourism will increase the attractiveness of events due to their clearer differentiation according to the relevant signs.
