The actual number of these may be slightly lower: because Nijmegen residents visit the festivals more often than non-Nijmegen residents, they are more likely to be surveyed.

The Vierdaagsefeesten (like The 4Daagse) have a positive effect on Nijmegen's tourist appeal. More than half of visitors to the Vierdaagsefeesten who have never been to Nijmegen before or at most twice, plan to visit the city more often in the future. A large majority (61%) of partygoers have gained a more positive image of the city by visiting the festivals. A nice boost towards the 2023 Nijmegen Vierdaagsefeesten!
