Many of the kite flyers at the big festivals are semi-professionals who get their air tickets, hotel and food paid for by the organisers. Kite festivals are great attractions many places, and draw tourists and locals by the tens of thousands, people who spend money on food, drink.... and kites. The place I was in Malaysia, Johor Bahru, even has a kite museum next to the kite ground. The sultan of Johor performed the official opening.Imagine that: a professional kite flyer !
