Description

Sport events are increasingly being used as a tool for community development. This book explores how sport event hosting can be leveraged to achieve positive outcomes and legacies for local communities. Through real-world case studies and industry practitioner perspectives, the book examines the commercial, social, and political contexts of sports events, including partnerships between stakeholders such as residents, local government, NGOs, and event organizers. It also considers the sports event management process, from bidding to planning to venue management, and how community development goals can be incorporated at every stage. With a practical focus, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in sports events, community sport, sport development, event management, or sustainable business.
