In the 7th edition, we will explore sports tourism and the potential changes it has on city marketing and human resource development. Combined with sports and traveling, sports tourism is said to bring beneficial impacts on local economy and attention to the city. Ascending to its place of being the most desired, sports tourism is actively applied and strived by cities around the world. Every city wishes to be the host of a sports event; it's a method a city can use to market itself to the world. Additionally, sports tourism also creates job opportunities for relevant industries in the local area as well as establishes a more systematic process for future sports events. Not to mention, the newly constructed sports facilities would become sustainable assets the city possesses. By looking at the benefits that come with, sports tourism may just be the force in economic growth every city seeks. This issue includes articles from APEC economies such as Japan; Malaysia; the Philippines; Singapore; Chinese Taipei; Thailand; and Viet Nam, comprising strategies and implementation plans for developing sports tourism in cities. Sportcal, the leading authority in sports marketing, also shares an assessment report on impacts of global sports events. Meanwhile, articles on 2019 SportAccord Convention, Smart Cities and Sport Summit 2018 and 50th Anniversary of International Children's Games are also included. Furthermore, this issue's newly opened "Sports Innovation Accelerating" column shares the results of Asia's 1st sports accelerator—SPIN Accelerator TW and introduces the startup teams involved in its 1st training cycle. In the future, we will continue to update sports innovation movements and bring the latest information to our readers. In hopes of pushing economic development and urban renewal, governments from around the world strategize the implementation of sports tourism. So far, all attempts have resulted in varying levels of success. We hope, through the extracts and information shared in this newsletter, readers can benefit by gaining a preliminary understanding on economic benefits along with impacts brought forth by major sports events and tourism, thus, uncovering more methods for a sustainable growth in sports tourism and begin a new chapter in the development history of their respective cities and economies. Chin-Hsung Kao Executive Director of ASPN 2 APEC Best Sports Related Sports Innovation Foreword Practices Sharing Platform Accelerating APEC Best Practices Sharing 2019 APEC in Chile: Connecting People, Building the Future By APEC Sports Newsletter editorial group Commencing in Chile, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) 2019 will be an address on how digital economy creates new business models and the role it plays in the booming of the global economy. The conceptual focus for this year is "Connecting People, Building the Future" and will center on four priorities, as shown below, to maximize human resource development and increase inclusive growth in both regional and global sectors. Digital Society As computing technologies progress, digital economy embeds itself at every corner of our lives. Possessing certain skills in this digitalized society becomes a crucial lesson in this day and age. One of APEC's priorities - Digital Society, incentivizes governments and their relevant departments to provide necessary tools and knowledge to the mass public. In favor of promoting participation by the individual in digital economy, one of the core descriptions includes the implementation of "APEC Internet and Digital Economy Roadmap, AIDER"; a plan of reinforcing logistics quality in e-commerce. Also, to boost the confidence of new technology in emerging markets, the implementation plan aids in reaching a consensus between the service sector and the measures of digital economy. It will improve the collection of data and statistics on the service sector as well as the usage of digital tools and telecommuting. Integration 4.0 As Integration 4.0 focuses on the promotion of trade facilitation, APEC has devised two manuals, "Quality Measures Manual" and "Business Language in Customs" to facilitate the consolidation between SMEs and the global supply chain. These two manuals converge the common standardization of better businesses and serve as benchmarks 3 APEC Best Sports Related Sports Innovation Foreword Practices Sharing Platform Accelerating APEC Best Practices Sharing for drafting action programs. In addition, "APEC'S Logistics Index" allows transparency on information flow amongst economies in Asia-Pacific region and thus effectively improve the efficacy of trade facilitation. Women, SMEs, and Inclusive Growth In recent years, the growing issue of women in the workforce has been one of APEC's priorities. In our findings, we believe the booming and the developing of economies are the following results of contribution by women. To eliminate obstacles women are challenged with in their economic involvement, APEC proposes an "Action Strategies Toolkit", a provision for assisting women in entering the workforce, and encouraging the collection of indexes and reports on the matter, increase female participation and facilitate leadership roles in the workforce, and amend the gender wage gap to avoid future glass ceiling situation. Additionally, APEC also invites a revision on trade regulations that are more in keeping with the modernization in the digital society and encourages individual economies and governments to simplify regulations to allow more flexibility to SMEs in their engagement of international trade. Subsequently, their participations will be more potent in the global supply chain as they are less bound by outdated regulations. Sustainable Growth In order to lower the rate of waste pollution and develop a cleaner source of energy, promoting environment-balanced and sustainable growth becomes the course of action it demands. APEC reaffirms the implementation of Xiamen Declaration 2014 and will pour in all the effort to protect marine ecosystem by reducing marine debris and cracking down illegal, unreported and unregulated fishery. Furthermore, APEC encourages individual economies in Asia-Pacific region on the transition to a low-carbon economy. As the global economy thrives, sources of energy are no longer inexhaustible; the pursuit of renewable energy will decrease energy intensity as well as expanding energy security. Other focal points on sustainable growth include the governance of smart cities, transport and infrastructure, accident prevention, the reducing of environmental impact, public space management, the deepenization (establishing) of urban-rural development, and improving people's quality of life. 4 APEC Best Sports Related Sports Innovation Foreword Practices Sharing Platform Accelerating APEC Best Practices Sharing Creating Branding Events to Facilitate Sports Tourism: New Taipei City Wan Jin Shi Marathon By APEC Sports Newsletter editorial group Sports tourism is the current trend on the global stage; combining tourism and sports creates a synergy with added values and brings in a fuller development of the industry as well as the maximization of relevant benefits. This trend is followed by all the member economies of APEC, including Chinese Taipei. By sponsoring numerous sports competitions and events each year, the government is able to provide regulatory guidance and a new option of touring for sports. In recent years, hosting international sports events has become a goal to pursuit for many economies. In addition to raising the level of competitive sports, there are many other benefits, including demonstrating political stability, marketing city special traits, increasing sports participation for citizens, improving infrastructure, and 2019 New Taipei City Wan Jin Shi Marathon other non-economic benefits. Furthermore, hosting these events also leads to economic benefits such as increasing consumer spending and employment opportunities. In Chinese Taipei, the central government, Sports Administration, cooperates with the organizers to host 100+ sports events each year and achieves outstanding results in terms of number of viewers, sales of sports lottery tickets and the level of competition. In 2018, 130 international sports events were organized. These sports events attracted 800,000 onsite spectators, over 100 million broadcast viewers, 13,000 volunteers and 18,000 foreign athletes, showing the wide appeal of sports competitions. This year, the Sports Administration identifies sports
