  • Many Happy Returns? the Pro-Bowl, Mega-Events, and Tourism in Hawaii
    Working Paper Series, Paper No. 15-01 Many Happy Returns? The Pro-Bowl, Mega-events, and Tourism in Hawaii Robert Baumann† and Victor A. Matheson†† August 2015 Abstract We use daily airplane arrival data from 2004 to 2015 from Hawaii’s Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism to determine the net change in arrivals around a variety of sporting events. We find only one event generates a positive and significant net impact on arrivals: the Honolulu Marathon, which generates roughly 3,900 additional arrivals. No other sporting events result in a measurable increase in tourist arrivals including, notably, the NFL’s Pro Bowl, which receives a large subsidy from the state’s tourism authority. JEL Classification Codes: Z28, O18, R53 Keywords: sports, stadiums, franchises, impact analysis, mega-event, tourism †Robert Baumann, Department of Economics and Accounting, Box 192A, College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, MA 01610-2395, 508-793-3879 (phone), 508-793-3708 (fax), [email protected] ††Victor A.

Economists, on the other hand, suggest that most sports fans at a given event are typically local residents who are spending money as a spectator rather than elsewhere in the local economy. Furthermore, any fans who come from outside the region may be displacing other tourists or are casual visitors who would have come to the area anyway and just happen to include a sporting event in their travels.
