“…The term ''capture rate'' has been used to describe the percentage of tourist spending that remains in the region as final demand (Propst et al, 1998;Stynes, 1997). Thus, capture rate is equal to tourist expenditures minus leakage.…”

“…Thus, capture rate is equal to tourist expenditures minus leakage. In a study assessing the regional economic impact of tourist expenditures at 108 Corps of Engineers recreational water sites, Propst et al (1998) found an average capture rate of 66%, or a leakage rate of 34%. Most sites examined were in more urbanized areas than northern Arizona, leading to higher capture rates.…”

“…The IO approaches use either existing standard regional tables (e.g. Humphreys and Plummer, 1995;Danson and Senior, 1998), or attempt to tailor the approach to a greater or lesser degree to re¯ect the local economy under consideration (Propst et al, 1998). The use of an IO approach has both bene®ts and disadvantages in assessing major events.…”

An increasing interest in the impact of sporting mega-events on host regions has sparked discussion on the most appropriate approaches in determining both bene®ts and costs. The paper de®nes the nature of the impact on Wales of the 1999 Rugby World Cup (RWC99), both economic and social, and qualitatively assesses the extent and nature of the impact of RWC99 in a number of areas. It concludes that there were considerable bene®ts for the region, although many areas of potential bene®t were not maximised. This was due in large part to the structure of the bidding process and organisational inadequacies, which in turn led to relatively low spectator spend and mixed press coverage.

“…In general, previous articles have regarded the impact in terms of the expenditure per visitor, team, and the media involved as indicators in evaluating the benefits on the local economy. This expenditure can be estimated either through simple methods that focus on the spending costs of the tourists, of which accommodation is a component; or through complex economic models such as the Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) (Jago and Dwyer 1996) and the input-output (10) models, which in this case, are dependent on the presence of consistent regional tables (Danson and S n i o r 1998) or more locally detailed (Propst et al 1998).…”

In June 2004, Portugal organised the final phase of the European Football Championship, the Union of European Football Associations -(UEFA-EURO) 20041M. Algarve was one of the four hosting regions, organising three matches including the quarter finals. The bid for the final-phase organisation was politically controversial at the regional level, with arguments revolving around destination-image projection and economic benefits of tourism, particularly with respect to the accommodation industry. Considering the possible advantages that such an event has on the economy, this paper defines the role and typology of the UEFA-EURO 2004TM event and quantitatively assesses its economic impact on the accommodation Industry. Using official data from the Portuguese National Institute of Statistics, the current findings show that the price effect partly explains the net decrease in overnight stays during the event, leading to an almost nil result for a short term, impact analysis. Future research developments related to medium -and long-term analysis are necessary to assess the material benefits for other industries and markets, in addition to evaluating the immaterial gains associated with destination image.AlgaNe.
