問題詳情：

La Tomatina is a food fight festival in Spain that begins on the last Wednesday in August each year. The festival includes a cooking contest, dancing, setting off fireworks, and the famous tomato fight. It takes place in Bunol, a small town in Spain.

The tomatoes that are used for La Tomatina are from Extremadura. The tomatoes grown there are not very delicious, so not all the tomatoes can be sold out. That is why they are sent to Bunol and used for the festival.

There are about nine hundred people in Bunol, and about 20,000-50,000 tourists travel to take part in La Tomatina every year. Since there are not enough hotels for so many people, most of these tourists live in Valencia, a larger city 38 km away from Bunol. Tourism can be a great way to stimulate the economy (刺激經濟), and La Tomatina is even better because this festival stimulates three cities’ economies: farmers’ growing tomatoes in Extremadura, hotel services in Valencia, and all kinds of jobs in Bunol.

Culture is the way of life shared in a group of people. A large part of culture is festivals. La Tomatina makes the Spanish culture very special. Being part of La Tomatina gives the tourists a sense of cultural identity (文化認同). So La Tomatina isn’t wasteful. It is a good way to give those a cultural identity and stimulate the economy.
