5.4.1 Leisure Events 
Leisure is activity which is apart from the obligations of work, family, and society - 
to which the individual turns at will, for either relaxation, diversion, or broadening 
his knowledge and his spontaneous social participation, the free exercise of his 
creative capacity.
Participation in leisure activities also requires a motivation process. It is expected 
from individual to have two main motives for participation; one of them is the desire 
to move away from the current location, so called pushing motivation and the other 
is called the wish to see different places, as pulling motivation. The events organized 
in different subjects and styles provide a platform to individuals to socialize and to 
share common interests and excitements. The reason why individuals are interested 
in leisure activities and events can be explained by the desire to have a healthy life, 
psychological relief, active social life and developed personal skills. Attending such 
events contributes the individuals‘ happiness, physical and mental development.
