Proposed Research Outline
LC Paper No. CB(2) 1263/03-04(01) PROPOSED RESEARCH OUTLINE The Economic and Social Impacts of Hosting Selected International Games 1. Background 1.1 The Panel on Home Affairs (Panel), at its meeting on 12 December 2003, requested the Research and Library Services Division (RLSD) to conduct a research study on the possible impacts for Hong Kong to host the 2009 East Asian (EA) Games based on the experience of the previous EA Games. 2. Proposed international games to be studied 2.1 RLSD originally intended to study the EA Games held in 1997 and 20011. For comparison, the Asian Games held in 1998 and 2002 were also considered for the study2. Apart from thorough in-house and Internet research, enquiries have been made to the relevant organizing committees and government departments in the host countries for providing the required information. However, only scanty information from official sources has so far been successfully collected on the impacts of hosting the EA Games and the Asian Games. As such, the research will study the 2002 Asian Games and make use of information available from newspapers, magazines and other secondary sources where appropriate. In addition, the 2000 Olympic Games3 and the 2002 Commonwealth Games4 will be included in the study for a better understanding of the impacts of hosting international sports events. 2.2 The study of the 2000 Olympic Games should help reflect the extent of the economic and social impacts that hosting an international sports event could have on a host country, although the scale of a mega sports event such as the Olympic Games is larger than that of the EA Games.
