The research theme concerning arrangement of events is integrally connected to tourism safety. Legislation and permit procedures define many aspects in the various phases of event arrangement—Assembly Act, Security Stewards Act, Rescue Act, Health Protection Act, Consumer Protection Act, and Private Security Services Act.
Many things must be taken into consideration when arranging events. For example:

• premises and surroundings (building, room, environment security)
• people (personal safety)
• event communication and information (what, to whom, and when)
• preparation for abnormal situations
• risk management
• rescue operations (safety and rescue plan and necessary related documents)
• information security (e.g., wireless connections, data protection, etc.).

Event arrangement has also been studied from the standpoint of safety and security at the Multidimensional Tourism Institute. MTI has arranged safety and security training related to event arrangement in Lapland’s tourism areas.
