Abstract Although research exploring the motivations for and barriers to conference attendance is growing, studies in the context of international sport management remain limited. Therefore, this study aims to understand the motivations for and barriers to these conferences. An online survey was delivered through the mailing list of four major sport management associations. A valid response for data analysis was 135 (valid ratio 65.22%). The motivators and barriers were measured using a previously developed scale comprising 26 items. Scale validity and reliability were tested using confirmatory factor analysis and deemed acceptable for both scales. By conducting a t-test and a one-way analysis of variance, the results revealed significant differences in motivation and barriers, varying by occupation, attendance preferences, participants’ residence, and most attended conference. These findings may provide useful empirical evidence to attract more participants from various regions.

Abstract This analysis of festival management before and during the COVID-19 pandemic focused on the Daramsiyao Festival, a local event in Daram, Samar, Philippines. Utilizing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the study identified the role and impact of the festival on its stakeholders and how management processes changed during the pandemic. To gather data, a content analysis of written festival documentation and Hybrid Focus Group Discussion (HFGD) with twelve (n = 12) Daram stakeholders were conducted, utilizing tabular reconnaissance and a semi-structured aide-mémoire. The information was assessed through a Repertory Grid and Thematic Network Analysis. Upon analyzing the stakeholders’ collective and individual experiences, the findings suggested themes that explored the implications of the changing management practices, leading to the development of the SAYAW Framework on Sustainable Community-based Festival Management. The proposed intervention program titled: “Tayo’y MagSAYAW! (Let’s Dance!)” was conceptualized to develop the festival management for future celebrations of the Daramsiyao Festival. The framework introduces five (5) main themes: Substratum, Adaptation, Yare Governance, Acclimation, and Workmanship. Through the comprehensive analysis of the festival subject, primary and secondary stakeholders could adapt to improve the related projects and activities. It also leads to strengthening collaboration and partnership between stakeholders.

Abstract MICE tourism legacies have become more important as these business events explore ways to give back to their respective host destinations. The purpose of this viewpoint is to unpack how such MICE tourism legacies can be operationalized, as applied to the context of an international conference. Drawing from extant literature surrounding MICE tourism legacies, the International Conference on Responsible Tourism and Hospitality (ICRTH) is an example of how such legacies can shift from a narrow focus to broader stakeholder benefits, nudge passive engagement toward more active forms of participation, mobilities from urban to rural environments, enhancing education outcomes for better empowerment opportunities, and revenge travel proclivities to a more responsible MICE tourism stance. Collectively, these exemplars inform other conferences as to how such MICE tourism legacies can manifest elsewhere.

Abstract Seeking alternative strategies to attract new theater attendee markets in South Africa have become a priority for live theater providers to keep the arts alive. Teenagers have become one of the biggest consumer markets, with various industries competing for their attention, and the live theater industry is no exception. However, the teenager market is complex, and research is crucial to understand the aspects influencing their purchase behavior. This study aimed to determine the aspects influencing live theater ticket purchases of South African teenagers focusing on teenagers who are already actively involved in live theater. Applying a convenient sample technique, a total of three hundred and twenty-one (321) self-administered questionnaires were collected from a majority of Afrikaans and English-speaking teenagers participating in a national drama competition between 23 July and 28 September 2019. Descriptive statistics, cross-tabulations, an exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and t-tests were done to reach the study’s goal. The EFA yielded four (4) factors Marketing, Theater lover, External influencers, and Theater & show compilation. Through these results, recommendations are made to live theater providers and marketers to effectively attract and retain teenagers who valready have exposure to live theater productions.

In a context of increasing competition between cities to attract and retain tourists, new inhabitants and/or companies, a fast-growing trend has become the effort to stage events (Getz & Page, 2016). These may be trade fairs, exhibitions, festivals, or events in the sporting, cultural or corporate spheres. Moreover, depending on the strength of their links with tourism, events can vary in size (Getz & Page, 2016): occasional megaevents; regular symbolic events; regional and local events. While these events are by definition time-limited, some (especially mega-events and other large events) can be very long-term projects. According to Chappelet (2018), the process of organizing the Olympic Games and establishing their legacy extends over a period of nearly 12 years, including the bidding phase (around 3 years), the planning phase (around 7 years), the staging of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (2 months), the closing ceremony, and the post-event infrastructure rearrangements (2 years). Cities exploit these events for long-term urban transformation projects (Gold and Gold, 2008; Gravari-Barbas & Jacquot, 2007; Gravari-Barbas, 2009; METROPOLIS, 2002; Pradel, 2010). Bidding to host events, in particular mega-events, is increasingly an instrument for formalizing urban development strategies (Lauermann, 2019). Because they require infrastructures of different kinds (big luxury hotels, convention centers, large sports and/or cultural facilities, transport infrastructures, etc.), they contribute to urban development. For example, Barcelona used the 1984 Olympic Games to redesign its waterfront (Pinto & Lopes dos Santos, 2022). Beijing took advantage of the 2008 Games to replace the old hutongs with buildings that symbolize modernity (Price & Dayan, 2008). The 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games provided an opportunity for the city to change its image by razing its favelas (Magalhães, 2016) and building new transport https://doi.org/10.1080/15470148.2023.2191403

Abstract After an almost continuous growth since 1850, with the First World War, the tourism sector, in Switzerland as elsewhere in the West, faced its first real crisis and had its actors to develop more refined strategies for the first time to “attract” customers and "retain" those who were already there. In this context, it should be noted that the hoteliers of St. Moritz, along with broader tourism networks, took advantage of a unique historical configuration between the two world wars to improve the reputation of the resort and enlarge its offer, both in the winter season with skiing and other disciplines like bobsleigh, but also in the summer season, especially following the opening of traffic to cars in the canton of Graubünden in 1925. In our article, we seek to analyze the involvement of hoteliers in the organization of the 1928 Olympic Games, both to understand the ‘local’ network behind the organization of a major sporting event and to take an innovative look at the development of tourism in the inter-war period. We based our analysis on municipal archives (political authorities, tourist office, hotel infrastructures, ski club), never really used in historical work on the winter Olympics.

Abstract This paper shows how the bids for the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2016 and 2020 were built on the completion of the Waterfront Sucenter plan from the 1980s. Using a method of analyzing geographical data available on Internet databases, and comparing it with documents produced by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government for the Tokyo harbor, the Olympic urban project appears to be dependent on preexisting patterns of the bids. This paper highlights the importance of deconstructing the narrative of the Tokyo Olympic project by analyzing urban strategies and their dependence on choices made several decades earlier.

Abstract The aim of this study is to determine the trajectories of global convention cities, in order to identify and explain the strong interactions between urban policies and changes and the dynamics of hosting international conferences around the world. To accomplish this aim, the major convention cities are calibrated so that their relative positions over 24 years alongside their policies for urban change can be analyzed. To do this, we undertake a factorial correspondence analysis (FCA) combined with ascending hierarchical classification to establish a hierarchical ranking and a typology. The hosting dynamics observed reveal the strong links between material and nonmaterial urban changes and a city’s attractiveness as a convention destination. At present, the situation still reflects the effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic. It has already had technical, technological, and health-related consequences for convention processes. These new factors need to be considered in further studies on convention tourism and urban changes

Abstract Since the start of the modern Olympic Games, and more recently the Paralympic Games, urban development linked to this mega-event has changed: the mono-stadium model typical of the early modern Games has been replaced by the model of an Olympic district. Because the events take place across multiple sites, the Games are often associated with investments in transportation. The paper aims to explore how, even in the case of a failed bid to stage the Olympic and Paralympic Games (OPGs), bidding for the Games can give rise to urban developments. In particular, bidding to host the Games can contribute to the reinforcement of transportation infrastructure. This study draws upon the case of the Istanbul bid. The Istanbul case is analyzed from the perspective of the bidding process before and after the reference to the Olympic Committee. The study examines the changes in the capacity of the transportation and tourist infrastructure through the official reports, statistics and annuals, as well as related literature. The case shows how bidding for big events such as the OPGs can drive investment and directly or indirectly impact economic activities, in particular in the tourism sector, whatever the result of the bidding process.

Abstract The urban regeneration linked to the Olympic Games is frequently planned with a master plan as in London or Barcelona. Atypically, the urban regeneration in the center of Athens seems different because it was carried out without overall planning after the Olympic Games had ended, although a master plan did exist since 1985. This research aims to understand how post-Olympic Games urban regeneration could be conducted in an informal manner over the long term, integrating all of the influences that have interacted to produce the current urban landscape (such as the deindustrialization, the development of recreative activities, and particularly the 2008 financial crisis and the effects of Airbnb activity). The results shows that urban regeneration has been conducted primarily by numerous family entrepreneurs, in an informal manner. The public authorities did not use strategic planning, iterative, contextualized, with objectives. The effects of this urban regeneration are also studied, such as in progress gentrification, evolution of jobs, increase in cultural and touristic activities, partial pedestrianization, partial buildings renovation, dilapidated buildings.

The case of Athens Olympic Games (2004)","authors":"Geneviève Zembri-Mary","doi":"10.1080/15470148.2022.2156646","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15470148.2022.2156646","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract The urban regeneration linked to the Olympic Games is frequently planned with a master plan as in London or Barcelona. Atypically, the urban regeneration in the center of Athens seems different because it was carried out without overall planning after the Olympic Games had ended, although a master plan did exist since 1985. This research aims to understand how post-Olympic Games urban regeneration could be conducted in an informal manner over the long term, integrating all of the influences that have interacted to produce the current urban landscape (such as the deindustrialization, the development of recreative activities, and particularly the 2008 financial crisis and the effects of Airbnb activity). The results shows that urban regeneration has been conducted primarily by numerous family entrepreneurs, in an informal manner. The public authorities did not use strategic planning, iterative, contextualized, with objectives. The effects of this urban regeneration are also studied, such as in progress gentrification, evolution of jobs, increase in cultural and touristic activities, partial pedestrianization, partial buildings renovation, dilapidated buildings. The remain problem seems to be the lack of housing public planning and policy in the center.","PeriodicalId":46268,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Convention & Event Tourism","volume":"24 1","pages":"156 - 181"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43205069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
