“…Among other factors, support from residents has been identified as being one key factor, which increases the probability of a positive benefit/cost ratio for a mega event and, hence, to indirectly influence the social and tourism impact from the event (Deccio & Baloglu, 2002;Hiller & Wanner 2011;Jeong and Faulkner 1996;Pappas, 2014;Ritchie, Shipway & Cleeve, 2009;Zhou & Ap, 2009 (from a host`s point of view), ex-post support seems of secondary importance, with the argument that the necessary investment has been already made (Soutar & McLeod, 1993).…”

“…On the other hand, they have to face monetary (increased or diversion of taxes) and non-monetary negative external and internal effects such as noise, traffic, pollution, frustration, anger about politics (Müller, 2015;Preuss & Solberg 2006). Referring to social exchange theory (Homans, 1958) and rational behaviour of local residents, the balance of positive and negative effects may determine his/her support for MSEs; such support has been identified as a main factor influencing the benefit/cost ratio and the social impact of these events (Deccio & Baloglu, 2002;Hiller & Wanner 2011;Jeong and Faulkner 1996;Pappas, 2014;Ritchie, Shipway & Cleeve, 2009;Zhou & Ap, 2009). At the pre-event stage especially, it is important to maximize acceptance of the event among local residents, in order to better promote and justify the event to key policy makers, sponsors and the non-city population and to increase the efficiency of event management during the preparation and bidding period (Coates & Wicker, 2015;Ma, Egan, Rotherham & Ma, 2011;Ritchie et al, 2009;Roche, 1994).…”

Residential support is one key multiplier that increases the probability of a positive outcome of mega events. Especially pre-event support seems important since hosting the event often requires public consensus. Within the discussion of determinants of pre-event support, the distance between a resident's home (district) and the event area has been neglected so far. To explore the spatial nature of event support, representative survey data (n=900) from the 2016 Olympic Games is analysed using ordered probit and spatial autoregressive models. Estimates reveal a lower probability of high support for residents living close to the main event area. Moreover, the rate of marginal changes in the probability of support decreases with decreasing distance to other areas. JEL: C51, D84, L83, R12

“…The prospect of hosting a successful mega-event and the positive spin-offs and opportunities that this might create through international publicity and recognition (Jeong and Faulkner, 1996) often cause potential host communities to ignore any negative impacts that might occur (Kim et al, 2006).…”

Abstract:The impact of the sporting industry on economic decision making has increased dramatically since the global media explosion in the 1980s. Tourism and advertising revenues generated by mega-events such as World Cups or Olympic Games have become a major boost to the economies of hosting nations. In addition, globalisation has placed great emphasis on the importance of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), especially to developing countries. This paper seeks to examine the impact of the 2010 FIFA World Cup on the South African economy. Using a 32-sector Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model, the various shocks on the economy, such as infrastructure developments, increased tourism and financing implications, are modelled. Results are shown and carefully explained within the context of the model. It is found that in the short term, there would only be a favourable outcome in the economy should financing be shared between higher present taxes and revenue generated from future economic growth and private investment.

“…Also, festivals are travel attractions with unique features (Gursoy, Kim & Uysal, 2004). Many studies related to festivals focus on: host community reactions (Fredline, Faulkner, 2000), hallmark and major events (Lee, 2000), economic impacts (Crompton, Lee & Shuster, 2001), resident`s attitudes and perceptions (Jeong, Faulkner, 1996) and the percived crowding of a festival experience (Lee, Graefe, 2003). However, there are very few papers exploring the issue of cultural assets as venues of the festivals (Besermenji et al, 2009).…”

The EXIT festival is one of the biggest cultural and social projects running in Serbia based on the concept of modern European festivals. The festival takes place on the Petrovaradin Fortress, which is immovable cultural asset of extraordinary importance. It belongs to the category of unique cultural and historic fortification structures with distinctive architectural and artistic values, with special emphasis on its cultural history.Former researchers and practice have showed that both the attendees and organisers are satisfied with the Fortress as the festival venue, conversely to the experts in the field who are attempting from the outset to highlight the negative impact of the festival upon this cultural asset with some of them advocating the relocation of the festival.The aim of this paper is to establish the experts' views on the use of the Petrovaradin Fortress as the venue for the EXIT festival. For the purpose of this paper, sixty experts responded to a questionnaire made by the researchers. The results obtained will draw attention to attitudes and opinions of experts and will be useful in future planning and organisation of the festival.
