Abstract: Abstract The purpose of this research is to build and evaluate a theoretical model capable of forecasting public participation in mega events. This study predicts event tourism participation using a mixed behaviour model based on a trust model and a deliberate actions model. Using data from 261 local and international visitors, structural equation modelling was engaged to examine the study hypotheses. According to the study's results, observed benefits were positively connected with people’s perspective, but observed obstacles were negatively associated, and observed benefits had a positive influence on interactive mechanism and observed obstacles had a negative influence on interactive mechanism. Additionally, the study's results suggested that individuals' intention to participate in mega events was positively influenced by their observed benefits, perspective, interactive mechanism, and normative beliefs and negatively influenced by observed obstacles. Finally, we perceived that observed risk significantly moderated the associations between observed benefits, observed obstacles and perspective, observed benefits, observed obstacles and interactive, lastly, observed benefits, observed obstacles, perspective, interactive mechanism, normative beliefs and intention to participate in events. The research's outcomes have significant hypothetical and applied effects for mega-events travel.
