They link the analysis of tourism and sport to wider public policy and economic development debates, applying economic analytical techniques to sport and leisure in a novel manner and charting the development of new tools which enhance our understanding of the economic contribution of these important activities. A number of the papers contained here focus on the extent to which sporting and leisure activity can further regional and national governments' aspirations for economic development, and at what cost. Two of the papers refine economic impact methodologies to better account for the impacts of discrete sporting and cultural events or facilities, using a high level of primary input data, and placing of the results firmly within the local economic development context.

  • Impacts of Tourism
    Impacts of Tourism Impacts of tourism Over the last twenty years there has been a growing awareness of the impact tourism has on the environment and societies in which tourism takes place. As mass tourism first developed along the Spanish coast and other areas, there was little concern for the negative impacts that tourism was having on the environment of the area or on the lives of the people living in the area. In recent years, concepts such as eco-tourism, responsible tourism and sustainable tourism have emerged. This is as a result of more research being undertaken into the range of impacts tourism creates and the ways in which these impacts can be managed more carefully. It is usual to classify the positive and negative impacts of tourism under the following headings: • economic impacts • environmental impacts • social impacts • cultural impacts Economic Impacts Positive Tourism generates income for a variety of businesses and creates a wide range of employment opportunities. At the global scale, tourism is seen as one of the world’s largest and fastest growing industries. This trend has continued throughout the last 50 years. Within the United Kingdom, it is estimated that inbound tourism generates about £19 billion each year. Domestic tourism, including day trips and staying visits, generates over £60 billion per year. In terms of employment, it is estimated that in the United Kingdom 1.4 million jobs are directly related to tourism. As well as generating employment and income, another positive impact of tourism is improvements in infrastructure. These include road and rail improvements, airport development and improvements in utilities, such as water supply and telecommunications.
