Flexible time spent at a placeDetermined individually by an impact of others participants’ co-created and shared experiences
Interpersonal performance
Determined individually by an intensity of an individual’s level of immersion, absorption and engagementDetermined by emerging of a stimuli and their response
Social component
Repeatability, replicability and adaptabilityFormat-determined components explained by:
Theme performance
Technical skills performance
Multi-sensory staging performance
Setting performance
Format-flexible components determined by:
Unanticipated value performance
Interpersonal performance
Multi-sensory staging performance
Determined by co-creation process
Determined by technical performance, structure, animation and setting components delivered by providers due to the direct control over the participants’ leisure experiences during the participation phase
Repeatability and replicability elements determined by:
Functional component
Social component
Adaptability element determined by:
Sensory component
Natural component
Cultural component
Hospitality culture
Local and participant communities focused around a given formatUnanticipated value performance
Interpersonal performance
Theme performance
Based on feedback loops interactions:
each perceived experience during the event influences participants’ relationships, thoughts, emotions, activities and memories they will bring and stage in the event:
providers modify experience elements based upon participants’ feedback in order to improve the event;– participants share their perceived experiences with peers via social networks and thus these peers must be perceived as indirect participants whose attitudes and opinions about the provided and shared experience also influence the co-creation process of the event
