Going far beyond being just a mega sport event, the Olympic Games are, and have been in the past, important settings for tourism and cultural change. Hosting the Olympic Games presents a unique opportunity for countries to promote, regenerate, and develop cities and regions, and to firmly locate them within an increasingly competitive global tourism marketplace. From Athens to Rio de Janeiro, Olympic landmark buildings, ‘districts’, and ‘parks’ have permanently transformed cities and regions, and gained tremendous material and symbolic value as tourist attractions. On another level, the Olympic Games produce a kaleidoscopic range of intangible and quasi-religious engagements with place and spectacle. They have a tremendous impact on the image of the host country, while invoking collective memories and touching on emotions such as suspense, compassion, togetherness, and pride. Tourism has also become a major watchword in ongoing debates on the ‘legacy’ of the Olympic Games, and it deeply penetrates discourses on social justice and cultural change on a local, national and global scale. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change.

Hosting the Olympic Games: Uncertainty, Debates and Controversy provides a broad and comprehensive analysis of past Olympic and Paralympic events, shedding critical light on the future of the Games with a specific look at the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics. It draws attention to the debates and paradox that hosting the Games presents for the contemporary city. Employing a range of interdisciplinary theoretical and methodological approaches, individual chapters highlight the various controversies of the Games throughout the bidding process, the event itself and its aftermath. Social Science-based chapters place strong emphasis on the vital importance of sustainable strategy for contemporary host cities. Along with environmental concerns whether atmospheric, microbiological or otherwise, many other requirements, costs and risks involving security and public expenditure among others are explored throughout the book. Including a variety of international and comparative case studies from a range of contributing academics, this will be essential reading for students and researchers in the field of Event studies as well as various disciplines including Tourism, Heritage studies and Urban and Environmental studies.

The Olympic Games have evolved into the most prestigious sport event on the planet. As a consequence, each Games generates more and more interest from the academic community. Sociology, politics, geography and history have all played a part in helping to understand the meanings and implications of the Games. Heritage, too, offers invaluable insights into what we value about the Games, and what we would like to pass on to future generations. Each Olympic Games unquestionably represents key life-markers to a broad audience across the world, and the great events that take place within them become worthy of remembrance, celebration and protection. The more tangible heritage features are also evident; from the myriad artefacts and ephemera found in museums to the celebratory symbolism of past Olympic venues and sites that have become visitor attractions in their own right. This edited collection offers detailed and thought-provoking examples of these heritage components, and illustrates powerfully the breadth, passion and cultural significance that the Olympics engender.This book was published as a special issue of the International Journal of Heritage Studies.

This book offers new insight into International Sports Events (ISEs), examining the relationship between sport, tourism and events. It assesses sports events through the lens of both sports participants and spectators, based on three primary themes: impacts, experiences and identities. The first section of the book contributes to the future development of knowledge by analyzing the impact of sport events and their legacies from economic, environmental, social, sporting, political and cultural perspectives – an understanding of the impacts and potential legacies of sports events is fundamental to their future development. In the second section of the book, the focus moves from impact and legacy issues towards exploring consumer behaviour and participant experiences at a diverse selection of International Sports Events. The emphasis within this section is grounded within the tourism dimension of sports events. Section three of the book highlights the dominant role of identity at a diverse selection of sports events, and demonstrates how that identity is displayed whilst either watching or participating in sport and leisure. The book provides an international analysis drawing on emerging empirical research conducted across a diverse range of sport and leisure activities and contrasting locations. Linked to the three underlying themes of the book, a future research agenda for International Sports Events is provided which is centred on four key pillars: impact, identity, internationalization and interdisciplinary research. This timely book will be of interest to students, researchers and academics studying Event Management, Sport Management and Sport Tourism.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2007 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, Stralsund University of Applied Sciences, language: English, abstract: Die Planung, Organisation und Beschaffung von Reisepaketen zu Olympischen Spiele stellen enorme Herausforderungen an einen Reiseveranstalter und unterliegen einer Vielzahl von Einflussfaktoren. Diese ergeben sich zum einen aus den Forderungen, die von den Organisatoren der Olympischen Spiele ausgehen, zum anderen aus den Charakteristika der Ausrichterstadt sowie seinem politischen, wirtschaftlichen und soziokulturellen Umfeld. Die Thesis analysiert die wichtigsten Einflussfaktoren, die sich auf die Produktentwicklung einer Reise zu den Olympischen Spielen auswirken. Während einige dieser Faktoren sich bei allen Olympischen Spielen ähnlich darstellen, verändern sich andere maßgeblich mit dem wechselnden Austragungsort und stellen völlig neue Anforderungen an den Reiseveranstalter. Der erste Teil der Thesis untersucht, wie sich die Einflussfaktoren generell auf die Produktentwicklung von Eintrittskarten, Unterkunft, Transport und Sightseeing auswirken. Zudem werden die Charakteristika des olympischen Reiseveranstaltermarktes in Europa und die verschiedenen Arten von Olympiatouristen analysiert. Diese Erkenntnisse werden im zweiten Teil auf das Beispiel der Olympischen Sommerspiele 2008 in Peking angewendet. Diese sind nicht nur für China eine Herausforderung, der gesamten Welt zu zeigen, dass sich das Land zu einer leistungsfähigen Nation entwickelt hat, sondern auch für europäische Reiseveranstalter, die ihre Arbeit und Vorgehensweise an die chinesischen Marktbedingungen anpassen müssen. Aufgrund der bedeutenden Unterschiede zwischen dem chinesischen und europäischen Wirtschafts- und Politiksystem sowie zwischen deren Kulturen und Werten wird angenommen, dass die touristische Produktentwicklung für die Olympischen Spiele 2008 in Peking sehr spezielle und besonders herausfordernde Anforderungen an einen europäischen Reiseveranstalter stellt. Mit Hilfe der Ergebnisse aus einer Umfrage unter allen offiziellen Olympiareiseveranstaltern im Europäischen Wirtschaftsraum sowie Interviews mit dem Organisationskomitee (BOCOG) in Peking wird aufgezeigt, wie die Reiseveranstalter auf die Besonderheiten, Herausforderungen und Schwierigkeiten, die während des Prozesses der Produktentwicklung in Peking entstehen, reagieren und welche Lösungen sie finden, um schließlich ein erfolgreiches Produkt zu entwickeln. Die Thesis gibt einen Einblick in die Besonderheiten der chinesischen Tourismusindustrie und präsentiert die aktuelle Hotelmarktsituation in Peking.

How did the Olympics evolve into a multi-national phenomenon? How can the Olympics help us to understand the relationship between sport and society? What will be the impact and legacy of the Olympics after Tokyo in 2020? Understanding the Olympics answers all these questions by exploring the social, cultural, political, historical, and economic context of the Games. This thoroughly revised and updated edition discusses recent attempts at future proofing by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in the face of growing global anti-Olympic activism, the changing geo-political context within which the Olympics take place, and the Olympic histories of the next three cities to host the Games – Tokyo (2020), Paris (2024), and Los Angeles (2028) – as well as the legacy of the London (2012) Olympics. For the first time, this new edition introduces the reader to the emergence of ‘other Games’ associated with the IOC – the Winter Olympics, the Paralympics, and the Youth Olympics. It also features a full Olympic history timeline, many new photographs, refreshed suggestions for further reading, and revised illustrations. The most up-to-date and authoritative textbook available on the Olympic Games, Understanding the Olympics is essential reading for anybody with an interest in the Olympics or the wider relationship between sport and society.

The International Olympic Committee and the World Tourism Organization jointly sponsored the first World Conference on Sport and Tourism, held in Barcelona in February 2001. There were four main themes: sport and tourism in economic development; the business of sport and tourism; human values fostered by sport and tourism; marketing and promotion of sport and tourism. It concluded that the relationship between the two activities would inevitably grow and that major sports events were also major tourism events. As such they can have a major impact on the development of new destinations or the recovery of regions that have experienced a slump.
