It recalls sliding sports and France with its colours as well as the olympic spirit with the flame inspired by the Savoie cross and the olympic rings. So as to integrate the olympic emblem (text, rings), a deep graphic study was made. The official logo of the 1992 Winter Olympics Games consists of three inseparable elements : - a symbol, "the flame", - a typography "Albertville 92", - the olympic rings which according to the IOC olympic charter, "represent the union of the five continents and the meeting of athletes of the whole world on the occasion of the Olympic Games in a spirit of loyal competition and friendship, ideal praised by the Baron de Coubertin". H - THE MASCOT The mascot is a big factor in giving the Games a visual identity and in representing them symbolically. This symbol will indeed be constantly present on the spot to welcome all corners to the 1992 Olympic Winter Games, and may be one of the main vectors in communications for partners in the Games. Its creation is articulated around themes faithful to the spirit and graphic style of the Games. 2 It is founded on the original idea of a personnage, which was a novelty at the Innsbruck Games in 1976. Its human dimension endows it with a warm, friendly, likeable character, counterbalancing the sports aspect and the intensively competitive universe of the Games. Mainly designed for children, this original and playful mascot refers back to the land of dreams and imagination through its inspired star shape. It was designed by Philippe Mairesse,- aged 31 years, who began his artistic activity in 1984 in the field of plastic arts and illustration. In that year he moreover obtained the 2nd Prize at the Hope Illustrators Show. Since then, he has constantly collaborated on publishing, press, and advertising organs, and has participated in a great many exhibitions. II - THE USE OF THE SYMBOLS As the olympic rings, use of the symbols depends on precise regulations in order to maintain their aesthetic quality and their suggestive force according to the principle of rarely. The use is submitted to previous and written authorization given by the COJO. Only the olympic municipalities, the Rhone- Alpes Regional Council, the Savoie General Council and economic partners. either official members of the Club Coubertin, suppliers or licensees for the 1992 Winter Olympics will be able to use the symbols under special conditions specified in an agreement entered into by the COJO and each of the partners. Graphic standards are defined in a basic charter published August 1988. So as to control the use of the symbols, the COJO made sure they were protected by laws on industrial property rights and trade marks. MEDIA I - TELEVISION RIGHTS The major portion of television rights has already been negotiated by the IOC and the COJO. Here is a summary : - CBS has obtained exclusive rights to broadcast the Olympic Games in the United States for 243 million dollars. - The UER (European Broadcast Union) acquired the European rights for 18 million dollars. This contract covers broadcasts of the Games in the 32 UER member countries : Algeria, Germany, Austria. Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Egypt, Spain (including Andorra), Finland, France (including Andorra), Greece, Ireland, Iceland, Israel, Italy (including San Marino), Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Morocco, Norway, Netherlands, Portugal, United Kingdom, Sweden, Switzerland (including Liechtenstein), Tunisia, Turkey, the Vatican and Yugoslavia. - Television rights for Australia were attributed to the "Nine Network" station for 8,5 million dollars. - For Canada, CBC and Radio Canada obtained broadcast rights for 10 million dollars. - NHK obtained television rights for Japan for 9 million dollars. - For the first time, New Zealand has acquired the television rights for the Winter Olympics for 2.5 million dollars. - Mexico has acquired television rights for 325.000 dollars. - The OIRT (International Organization of Radio-Television) has acquired the television rights for Eastern Europe for 2,175 million dollars. The amounts mentioned above represent the total amounts for the contracts. Net revenue for COJO, according to the Olympic charter, varies between 66 % and 90 % of the contract amounts depending on the country involved. 3 11 - THE HOST BROADCASTER ORTO 92 Following the call for tenders launched in August 1988, on December 31. 1988 the COJO selected the A2, FR3 and Radio France public broadcasting companies. A2 is the largest public television station in France. FR3 is also a national public station but, in addition, it has a large regional network and its own production means. Radio France is the most important European broadcasting company. It broadcasts 5 national programs and has several local stations. Together, these three companies, members of the EBU, employ 800(1 people. They have decided to found a subsidiary called "ORTO 92" which be the host broadcaster guaranteed by the three parent companies. This Company, chaired by Francois Lemoine, is currently organized around three main Managements : - The Program, Production and Plan Management, - The Technical Management, - Financial and Administration Management. An Information and Communication Management will be created at a later date. To ensure this coverage, ORTO 92 will call upon the following organizations in particular (in addition, of course, to A2, FR3 and Radio-France) : - Soci6t6 Francaise de Production (SFP) for the conception of the International Centre of Radio- Television (CIRTV). The means implemented by the host broadcaster and his service companies during the Games will represent almost 1,500 people. - France T616com for the conception and implementation of the image and sound broadcast network. In addition, it will also use the reporting means of certain European radio-television organizations within the scope of the agreement signed between the IOC. COJO and Eurovision, dealing with the acquisition of the radio-television rights for Europe, and their future broadcasts. by Eurovision. All these human and technical means are considerable. During the Olympic Games, ORTO will mobilize more than 1500 people to supply the entire world with the images of this event. TELECOMMUNICATIONS In February 1992, communications will be one of the essential elements contributing to the success of the Games : communications to ensure broadcasting to the 2 billion world television viewers of athletic exploits, communications within the organization, communications also within the Olympic area. even more vital due to the first-time-ever split-organization (13 different venues) of the Games. To succeed, France Telecom and Alcatel are lending their experience and know-how to this exceptional venture. The telecommunications system must meet two objectives : - ensure the communications necessary to the organization of the Games (organization of the venues, transportation of the members of the Olympic family, etc...) - ensure the communications necessary to the Media. 4 This telecommunications system is composed of three systems : - the telephone system - the radiocommunications system - the video transmission system. The Telephone System The Olympic venues will be inter-connected by a telephone system and linked at several points to the French telephone network. This solution will provide homogenous services over the different venues : simplified dialing, flexible subscriber management (quick answer to varied requests, moving, etc...), reinforced reliability for a small number of telephone lines ensuring telephone service for all vital organization functions under all conditions... This sytem will accept : - 4000 telephones for the Organization (IOC, COJO, Sports Federations...) - 3000 telephones for the heavy media facilities : commentators booths, television bus, press agency offices... - 3000 telephones for media self-service facilities (press centers and auxiliary centers) or for the spectators (public telephone booths). This system will also carry the data communication lines for the COJO's computer system and the text transmission, data communication and photograph transmission lines for the press agencies present on the venues. Telex and telefax lines will also be connected. The Radiocommunications System The radiocommunications system, or communication with persons or mobile vehicles includes four distinct sub-systems : - a unilateral radio-message system allowing short messages to be received on reduced cost and size terminals. This system covers the entire Savoie Region

Do not cite or quote without the permission of the authors. ABSTRACT Supporters of mega-sporting events such as the World Cup and Olympics claim that these events attract hoards of wealthy visitors and lead to lasting economic benefits for the host regions. For this reason, cities and countries compete vigorously for the right to stage these spectacles. Recently, developing countries have become increasingly vocal in demanding that they get the right to share in the economic benefits of these international games. China, for example, has been awarded the 2008 Summer Olympics, and an African nation seems destined to host the 2010 World Cup. The specialized infrastructure and operating expenses required to host these events, however, can be extremely costly, and it is not at all clear that either the long or short-term benefits of the games are anywhere nearly large enough to cover these costs. This paper reviews other researchers’ as well as our own previous work on mega-sporting events such as the Super Bowl and World Series as well as international events like the World Cup and Olympics.

  • Skihorizon Announces the 10 Most Popular European Ski Resorts of the Last Season Submitted By: SEPR Tuesday, 12 April 2011
    SkiHorizon announces the 10 most popular European ski resorts of the last season Submitted by: SEPR Tuesday, 12 April 2011 French ski resorts have proved to be the most popular in Europe, new sales data released today by SkiHorizon on the 2010-2011 winter ski season reveals. The French and the Brits continue to have different tastes for their ski holidays (http://www.skihorizon.co.uk/ski-holiday-guide) – French skiers and snowboarders are far more likely to ski in their own country, whereas British holidaymakers divide their loyalties between France, Switzerland and Austria. Top ski resorts: French bookers • Val Thorens • Les Deux Alpes • Avoriaz • Les Arcs 1800 • Les Menuires • Les Coches • Saint Sorlin d'Arves • Risoul • Tignes Val Claret • Plagne Bellecôte Top ski resorts: UK bookers • Morzine • Les Arcs • Saas Fee • Serre Chevalier • Avoriaz • La Plagne • St Anton • Megeve • Puy St Vincent • Alpe D'Huez Overall this illustrates that France is the most popular skiing destination among SkiHorizon’s customers. But Italy is steadily growing in popularity and SkiHorizon forecast that one of its resorts will break into the top 10 in the next few years. Mark Oliver, UK Marketing Manager at SkiHorizon commented: {{“It’s no surprise that the French overwhelmingly choose to ski in their own country, with world-beating ski resorts on their doorstep, it takes a lot of persuasion for them to try skiing in other countries. Page 1 “I do wish more French people would take the time to discover the dramatic scenery and the warm welcomes of Austria though, they would be very pleasantly surprised.”}} SkiHorizon has published guides to skiing and snowboarding across Europe.
