“…Hkrati omogočajo tako aktivno udeležbo kot tudi možnost podpore športnim ekipam in posameznikom ob udeležbi športnega tekmovanja. Gratton, Dobson in Shibli (2001) ugotavljajo, da športne prireditve za številna mesta v Veliki Britaniji predstavljajo pomembno platformo gospodarske in urbane prenove. Nedavna organizacija poletnih olimpijskih iger v Londonu leta 2012 ter uspešno organizirane igre držav Commonwealtha v Manchestru leta 2002 in Glasgowu leta 2014 poleg ostalih tradicionalnih družbeno in gospodarsko pomembnih športnih prireditev (npr.…”

“…Consequently, there is a great deal of information available on the economic potential of MSEs; much of which actually contests the positive claims made (Fedderson et al, 2009;de Nooij, et al, 2009). This is not to suggest that there is no support for the possibility of economic benefit (Gratton et al, 2001), but the overall message is that realizing it is extremely challenging and will be especially difficult for some hosts. These challenges arise from the contextual sensitivity of event impacts and outcomes, which means that the socio-political and economic environment of the host is an important consideration when seeking to determine what these might be.…”

Sport mega-events, the ‘non-West’ and the ethics of event hosting

Ethical Concerns in Sport Governance

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Sport mega-events, the non-West and the ethics of event hostingEvents and sports events are perceived as having the potential to contribute to a number of benefits for the host country and its communities. However, mega sports events in particular are also known for their darker side. These consequences flow from the scale and complexity of the event, and the logistics of delivering what is effectively a national mega-project. The socio-political and economic environment of the host is an important consideration for both prospective hosts and event owners when allocating hosting rights. It is therefore, unsurprising that concerns have been raised over the relatively recent relocation of events to developing countries which, by their nature, frequently lack the economic, political and social stability of the traditional industrialized host. Developing nations are less affluent and arguably less prepared to deliver large scale sports events than developed nations. Within developing contexts the cost of hosting and risk of failure is likely to be far higher than for events held in the developed world. Therefore, this paper asks, 'are governing bodies, when equipped with this knowledge, ethically obliged to withhold hosting rights from developing countries?' The paper argues that denying sovereign States the right to make their own decisions would appear to compound the disadvantaged status of countries that mega-event hosting is perceived to address. It would also reinforce the positioning of countries as subordinate and subject to a form of neo-colonial control. Indeed, despite laudable claims, the primary interest of the event owners is the delivery of an event, meaning that considerations of individual national contexts are largely irrelevant to any award. The paper contends that event hostsparticularly those in the developing world -are potentially vulnerable to exploitation by the event owner.

“…Some countries have also been very successful in developing and making a profit from sports tourism. In America, revenue from tourism events is estimated at $ 27 billion a year, and more than 75 million American adults (two-fifths of the population) said they had attended a sporting event while traveling, either as a spectator or as a participant [16]. So, we can say that the sports tourism industry is an entrepreneurial and employment-generating one, and overall, one of the most effective ways to overcome the problem of unemployment is to develop sports entrepreneurial activities for locals.…”

The aim of this study is to identify the adoption of entrepreneurial behaviours in sports tourism in developing countries. This research is a qualitative study. The systematic method of Strauss and Corbin has been used to analyse the data. Based on the results of in-depth interviews with stakeholders (n = 25), 75 indicators of sports tourism entrepreneurship were identified. Our research findings show that the necessary institutional arrangements in regulatory/legal/administrative dimensions (rule of law, government policies), normative/cultural (social norms, values, and beliefs), cognitive/educational (promotion of elite knowledge, promotion of social knowledge) and guidance measures/supporter (public sector support, private sector support, complementary attraction and information technology) have potential to improve the rate of entrepreneurial behaviours by increasing the ability and willingness of entrepreneurs to take advantage of entrepreneurial opportunities in the field of sports tourism. Our findings suggest that co-actors need to engage in a multi-stakeholder engagement approach to promote the tourism sports industry in developing countries. The existence of a legal, normative, supportive and educational environment may influence the ability and desire of market participants to identify and embrace entrepreneurial opportunities in the sports tourism sector.
