Large-scale tourism events, such as car festivals, cause severe traffic congestion, parking shortages, and workforce absenteeism in host communities. Residents struggle to commute to essential jobs, face safety risks, and bear the economic burden while benefits accrue to large corporations rather than local businesses or workers. The event management and city planning infrastructures are grossly inadequate, with no transparent system to balance tourism revenue against community disruption or to mitigate gridlock, parking chaos, and public safety risks. This creates chronic, unaddressed stress for locals and degrades the travel experience for visitors who encounter overcrowded and inaccessible destinations.
