  • History of the Commonwealth Games
    GAMES HISTORY INTRODUCTION In past centuries, the British Empire’s power and influence stretched all over the world. It started at the time of Elizabeth 1 when Sir Francis Drake and other explorers started to challenge the Portuguese and Spanish domination of the world. The modern Commonwealth was formed in 1949, with ‘British’ dropped from the name and with Logo of the Commonwealth many countries becoming independent, but Games Federation choosing to remain part of the group of nations called the Commonwealth. The first recorded Games between British Empire athletes were part of the celebrations for the Coronation of His Majesty King George V in 1911. The Games were called the 'Festival of Empire' and included Athletics, Boxing, Wrestling and Swimming events. At the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, the friendliness between the Empire athletes revived the idea of the Festival of Empire. Canadian, Bobby Robinson, called a meeting of British Empire sports representatives, who agreed to his proposal to hold the first Games in 1930 in Hamilton, Canada. From 1930 to 1950 the Games were called the British Empire Games, and until 1962 were called the British Empire and Commonwealth Games. From 1966 to 1974 they became the British Commonwealth Games and from 1978 onwards they have been known as the Commonwealth Games. HISTORY OF THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES 1930 British Empire Games Hamilton, Canada 16-23 August The first official Commonwealth Games, held in Hamilton, Canada in 1930 were called the British Empire Games. Competing Countries (11) Australia, Bermuda, British Guiana (now Guyana), Canada, England, Newfoundland (now part of Canada), New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Scotland, South Africa and Wales.

  • Hotel Demand Before, During, and After Sports Events: Evidence from Charlotte, North Carolina
    HOTEL DEMAND BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER SPORTS EVENTS: EVIDENCE FROM CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA CRAIG A. DEPKEN II and E. FRANK STEPHENSON This paper uses daily hotel occupancy data to examine the effects of a wide variety of political and sporting events on the hotel room market of Charlotte, North Carolina from 2005 to 2014. Two political conventions and NASCAR auto races are associated with large increases in hotel occupancy, prices, and revenue, but many other events have no discernable effect on Charlotte’s hotel market. The results also indicate that occupancy effects before or after most events are modest at best. Back-of-the-envelope calculations show incremental hotel-tax receipts fall short of the debt service incurred in constructing and maintaining the city’s sports venues. (JEL H71, Z23, Z28) I. INTRODUCTION days after the event. We test whether there are statistically significant impacts on hotel demand, As the academic literature on the economic hotel prices, and hotel revenue, during the days impact of sports or other events is vast, it is worth leading up to or following the events included in calling immediate attention to this paper’s contri- our analysis. This provides insight into the eco- butions. This paper is the first to use daily hotel nomic effects of sports events and any external occupancy data over a long period to investigate benefits or external costs they may generate. the net impacts of political and sporting events on We distinguish between hotels that are close hotel demand, room prices, and total daily hotel to the Charlotte venues, those that are at an inter- room revenue in a large city in the United States.

  • Commonwealth Games: Friendly Rivalry
    Parliament of Australia Department of Parliamentary Services RESEARCH PAPER SERIES, 2013–14 6 November 2013 Commonwealth Games: friendly rivalry Dr Rhonda Jolly Social Policy Section Executive summary • Elite athletes from the Commonwealth meet every four years to compete in the multi-sport event known as the Commonwealth Games. • While the Commonwealth Games boasts many similarities to the Olympics, it differs in the more relaxed and ‘friendly’ spirit of competition, which is a highlight of most events. • The spirit of friendship has not always prevailed, however, and there have been serious rifts between Commonwealth nations that have manifested themselves in boycotts of the Games. While these have threatened at times to dissolve, or seriously weaken the Commonwealth, solutions have always been found and the Commonwealth and its Games have endured. • Australia was one of a group of nations that first participated in competition between Britain and its colonies in 1911; it has participated in the Games in all its forms since that time. It is acknowledged as the most successful of the Commonwealth nations in this sporting competition—winning over 200 more medals than its nearest rival. • Australian cities have hosted the Games four times. While there have been some hiccoughs in the staging of each event—some social, and some economic—Sydney, Perth and Brisbane have all received accolades and Melbourne was praised as ‘the best’ following the 2006 Games. • In 2018 Australia will host another Commonwealth Games—on Queensland’s Gold Coast. • This paper looks back at how the Games came to be, Australia’s experience of staging the event and contemplates how the Gold Coast will deal with that legacy and surmount perceived and unexpected complications that will inevitably surface before the 2018 Games’ Opening Ceremony.

  • 1986 Commonwealth Games ------The Year of the Boycott
    1986 Commonwealth Games --------------------------------------------------------- The Year of the Boycott Aleida van der Woerd Janelle Stoter Erica Klyn-Hesselink PED 201 Dr. J. Byl March 25, 2004 The first Commonwealth Games took place in 1930 after many years of thought went into the idea of bringing athletes of the British Empire together for organized sporting events. The idea originated by Reverend Astley Cooper in 1891 when he suggested a “Pan-Britannic-Pan- Anglican Contest and Festival.”1 Hamilton, ON, Canada hosted the first events, which included eleven countries, 400 athletes, and six different sports.2 The sports included athletics, boxing, lawn bowling, rowing, swimming, and wrestling.3 Since 1930 the games have taken place every four years (except for the years surrounding World War II including 1942 and 1946) and have grown immensely in number of sporting events and participants. In 1930, the games were known as the “British Empire Games” which ended up changing names two more times before being called the Commonwealth Games. The name was changed in 1950 to “The British Empire and Commonwealth Games” and then again it changed to the “British Commonwealth Games” in 1966. Finally, in 1974 the name was changed to the “Commonwealth Games” and remains as this today.4 The Commonwealth Games is a special event considering the historic factor of the games as it is not established on geographic or climatic factors as is common with most other events.5 An interesting aspect of the games is that all of the participants (athletes and officials) can communicate together in the common language of English, which has been one of the reasons that the games are often referred to as the “Friendly Games”.6 The 1986 Commonwealth Games took place in Edinburgh, Scotland.
