Sommario/riassunto

This ebook examines a selection of key impacts and legacies associated with sports events. In doing so, it also investigates some prominent issues, trends and opportunities in the relationship between sport, tourism and events and how, irrespective of whether mega, leisure or community-based sports, event organisers and destination managers can tap the potential to be derived from sports events.
