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.
