Assessing and Considering the Wider Impacts of Sport-Tourism Events: a Research Agenda Review of Sustainability and Strategic Planning Elements
sustainability Review Assessing and Considering the Wider Impacts of Sport-Tourism Events: A Research Agenda Review of Sustainability and Strategic Planning Elements Ana Chersulich Tomino 1,*, Marko Peri´c 1 and Nicholas Wise 2 1 University of Rijeka, Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality Management, Primorska 42, 51410 Opatija, Croatia; [email protected] 2 Liverpool Business School, Liverpool John Moores University, 4/6 Rodney Street, Liverpool L1 2TZ, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +385-(0)98-184-9174 Received: 7 May 2020; Accepted: 27 May 2020; Published: 1 June 2020 Abstract: Sport-tourism events create a broad spectrum of impacts on and for host communities. However, sustainable sport-tourism events, which emphasize positive impacts, and minimize negative impacts, do not arise by chance—they need careful planning and implementation. This paper aims to review and systematize a wide spectrum of social impacts that outdoor sport-tourism events create from the perspective of key stakeholders and addresses strategic planning elements necessary for achieving event sustainability. To reach its objectives, the authors examined the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database, searching for relevant scientiﬁc papers focusing primarily on the impacts and legacy of sport events, strategic planning elements, and attributes necessary for achieving sustainability through a systematic quantitative review and content analysis. The results indicate that the relevant literature mostly focuses on economic impacts, followed by social and environmental impacts. Most studies focus on Europe and Asia, with the Olympic Games and FIFA World Cups being the most popular type of event studied. To systemize event and destination strategic elements and attributes for achieving sustainability, this study considers eight categories: social, cultural, organizational, logistic, communication, economic, tourism, and environmental.

Prendila sul serio come fa lo scoiattolo, ad esempio, senza aspettarti nulla dal di fuori o nell’al di là. Non avrai altro da fare che vivere. La vita non è uno scherzo. Prendila sul serio ma sul serio a tal punto che messo contro un muro, ad esempio, le mani legate, o dentro un laboratorio col camice bianco e grandi occhiali, tu muoia affinché vivano gli uomini gli uomini di cui non conoscerai la faccia, e morrai sapendo che nulla è più bello, più vero della vita. Prendila sul serio ma sul serio a tal punto che a settant’anni, ad esempio, pianterai degli ulivi non perché restino ai tuoi figli ma perché non crederai alla morte pur temendola, e la vita peserà di più sulla bilancia. Nazim Hikmet Per mio fratello tutto poteva essere ridotto o elevato, questione di punti di vista, a uno scherzo. Su tutto e su tutti si poteva fare una battuta. Tutti erano degni di un soprannome, chiunque poteva essere annusato o, meglio, toccato con una pacca sulla spalla, con un pugnetto, con una spintarella, un pizzicotto oppure colpito improvvisamente con una smorfia. L’ironia spontanea e sensibile, insieme alla voglia di sdrammatizzare continua e irrefrenabile, erano le sue armi migliori per alleggerire, ridimensionandolo un po’, il mondo che gli stava attorno.
