after the Olympic Games. In 2021 the 30th occasion of this unique event will take place in Central Switzerland. The organisation is a joint project of the six cantons of Central Switzerland Lucerne, Uri, Schwyz, Obwalden, Nidwalden and Zug, and the City of Lucerne. The programme from the 21st to the 31st January 2021 comprises ten sporting disciplines, to be contested at seven event venues. Students aged between 17 and 25 from more than 540 universities in 50 countries are expected to attend. A total of over 2500 individuals will take part. Further information about the Winter Universiade Lucerne-Central Switzerland 2021 may be found here: www.winteruniversiade2021.ch Winter Universiade 30th edition 2021 Date 21 to 31 January 2021 Host City Lucerne Sports Biathlon, Curling, Ice Hockey, Figure Skating, Freestyle Skiing, Cross-Country Skiing, Short Track Speed Skating, Alpine Skiing, Snowboard, Ski Orienteering Days of Competition 11 Venues Andermatt-Realp, Engelberg, Lenzerheide, Lucerne, Stoos, Sursee, Zug Notable 2nd edition in Switzerland after Villars 1962 Number of expected Athletes 1600 Team Officials 900 Volunteers 3800 1.1 Organisations Involved The successful realisation of the Winter Universiade depends on the interplay of three organisations: the International University Sports Federation FISU, the Association Winter Universiade Lucerne-Central Switzerland 2021 and Swiss University Sports. It was in 1959 that FISU launched the Universiades, now the largest multi-sport event for students. Since then, a total of 29 Winter Universiades and 30 Summer Universiades have already taken place. Unlike the Olympic Games, both Universiades are held in the same year and in a two-year cycle. In March 2016, FISU assigned the 30th winter edition to Central Switzerland with Lucerne as the host city. The six cantons of Central Switzerland and the city of Lucerne founded an association for the purpose of this major project. Government representatives from each of the six cantons and Lucerne’s city council are responsible for strategic decisions under the chairmanship of Guido Graf, Cantonal Councillor Lucerne. The organising committee, directed by the Managing Director Urs Hunkeler, reports directly to this board. The organising committee works closely with Swiss University Sports. The National University Sports Federation of Switzerland is a member of FISU and is in charge of the selection of Swiss athletes for the multi-sport event. It has set itself the goal of building a strong Swiss team for the upcoming Winter Universiade at home. 1.2 History Staged every two years in a different global city, the Winter Universiade is the world's largest winter multi-sports competition for university athletes. The rich history of the Winter Universiade began in Chamonix, France in 1959. Sixteen countries and 220 athletes took part in the first edition, with six sporting disciplines; ice hockey, ice skating, alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, ski jumping and Nordic combined. Today, the programme has nine compulsory sports. The Swiss mountain village of Villars hosted the Winter Universiade’s second edition in 1962 which was a big success thanks to the support of the Swiss University Sports Association. Nearly 300 athletes from 23 nations took part, including teams from Japan, Lebanon and New Zealand. The Winter Universiade drew more than 500 athletes for the first time in Sofia, Bulgaria in 1983 and by the Sapporo 1991 edition in Japan, countries like the Soviet Union, United States and Japan were fielding delegations of more than 100 athletes each. The flawless execution of Sapporo 1991 helped Japan bring the Winter Olympics to Nagano in 1998 and paved the way for other major winter sports events in Asia. The 2005 Winter Universiade in Innsbruck, Austria, saw a record 2,223 participants from 50 countries and set the trend for night competitions. In another first at Innsbruck, women’s ski jumping was added to the programme, a full nine years ahead of its Olympic debut. In 2013, the Trentino Winter Universiade drew 2,668 competitors to the Italian Alps. Proving the Universiade as a launchpad to student-athletes’ future success, no fewer than 29 athletes who competed at Trentino went onto win medals at the Sochi Olympics, which took place just two months later. The most recent edition of the Winter Universiade in Krasnoyarsk, Russian Federation, had nearly 2,000 athletes representing a record 58 countries, competing in 11 sports. True to its #WelcomeHome motto, Lucerne2021 represents

  • Supplementary Material for Multilateral Political Effects On
    Supplementary Material for Multilateral Political Effects on Outbound Tourism 1 Derivation of the Empirical Model from the Theoretical Foundation We explicitly incorporate the three mechanisms of political effects (country image, nationalism, and govern- ment intervention) into a gravity-like tourism demand model. The gravity model was initially transplanted into international trade literature (McCallum, 1995; Anderson & Van Wincoop, 2003) and later transplanted to international tourism literature (Kimura & Lee, 2006; Keum, 2010). In the traditional bilateral gravity model, tourist flow (퐹표푑) from origin country 표 to destination country 푑 is determined by the “masses” (푀) of the two countries (usually GDP per capita) and the bilateral distance (퐷표푑), multiplied by a constant 퐺. A log- linear transformation is usually used in empirical implementation: 훽 훽 푀 표푀 푑 퐹 = 퐺 × 표 푑 → ln 퐹 = 푖푛푡푒푟푐푒푝푡 + 훃′[ln 푀 , ln 푀 , ln 퐷 ]. (1) 표푑 훽표푑 표푑 표 푑 표푑 퐷표푑 There are essentially two types of factors on the right-hand side of equation (1): terms related to only one country (푀표, 푀푑) and terms related to country pair (퐷표푑). Morley et al. (2014) structurally derive this gravity equation from microeconomic behavior (known as “micro-foundation revolution” in macroeconomic litera- ture). We extend their bilateral and static framework to allow for both multilateral interdependence and inter- temporal dynamics. The former is derived theoretically, and the latter is formulated empirically. 1.1 The Theoretical Model with Multilateral Interdependence An individual (indexed by 푖) from an origin country maximizes his/her utility 푈(∙) by choosing the numbers of visit, 푓푑(푖), to a set of destination countries 푑 ∈ [1, 푁] under an optimally allocated tourism budget, which is a power function of his/her total income 푚(푖)—in other words, we assume a constant income elasticity (휇) of demand for tourism.
