Great management on the part of sporting event personnel both increases the efficiency of event planning and organization and achieves sustainable development through promotion and marketing. In this issue of the APEC Sports Newsletter, we will focus on the cultivation of professional behind-the-scenes personnel in major sporting events and their specialized skills. Starting from the summary report of the "2018 APEC Workshop on Developing Sports Professionals for Mega Games" and the policies that Indonesia; Malaysia; the Philippines; Singapore; Thailand; Viet Nam and Chinese Taipei employ to cultivate professionals to handle sporting events. We shall also introduce our readers to the first sports startup accelerator in Asia, developed by National Chiao Tung University and HYPE Sports Innovation, the global trailblazer in launching sports startups. This issue additionally features a special report on the development and operation of Japan's sports tourism industry, an introduction to the operating model of Thailand's National Sports Development Fund, and the latest updates on Japan's Host Town Initiative for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Through the various reports and introductions in this newsletter, we hope our readers can acquire a comprehensive understanding of the topic of talent cultivation in major sporting events, and that they can draw from these pages a range of experience and perspectives, utilizing their collective wisdom and strength to further innovate the talent development process for sporting events, and ensuring the smooth-running organization of future major international events and the promotion of international harmony and friendship. Chin-Hsung Kao Executive Director of ASPN 2 APEC Economies' Perspectives on ASPN Related Foreword Policies Regional Sports Issues Events APEC Economies' Policies Summary Report of the 2018 APEC Workshop on Developing Sports Professionals for Mega Games The Sports Administration (SA), Ministry of Education and the Japan Sports Tourism Alliance (JSTA) jointly held the 2018 APEC Workshop on Developing Sports Professionals for Mega Games in Tokyo, on September 26. 15 representatives from industry, government and academia of 9 APEC economies were invited to come together in Tokyo to discuss the nurturing of sports professionals for mega sports events.

The Benefits of Hosting Mega Sporting Events Although member economies invest a considerable amount of resources into hosting mega sporting events, organizing these competitions offers a range of benefits to host economies, including cultural exchanges and tourism opportunities. Japan is currently preparing to host the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics. In what is known as the Host Town Initiative, the Japanese central government supports all local governments in their preparations to welcome both foreign athletes and support staff. Under this initiative, sports, cultural, and economic exchanges are conducted with foreign athletes and support staff. Added to this are the tourism opportunities that result from the hosting of sporting competitions. Beginning in 2019, Japan will host several major international events, which will strengthen the growth of sports tourism. Large numbers of foreign visitors are expected to travel to Japan to watch these sporting events, thus raising the number of foreign visitors. Sports tourism is a mechanism that encourages travel. Through sports tourism, the demand for travel agencies, hotels, transportation, entertainment, insurance, and food can be increased, creating significant economic benefits. Strategies to Develop Sports Professionals for Mega Sporting Events Member economies hosting mega sporting events all develop strategies to cultivate and recruit sports professionals. In 2017, when Taipei hosted the Summer Universiade, the staff came primarily from the central and local governments, the organizing committee, and the police. There were also volunteers, 60% of whom were college students, while the remaining 40% were members of the general public. Their knowledge and understanding of the games were bolstered through a series of training courses, lectures by famous athletes, and group training activities. The college students returned to their studies once the Summer Universiade ended and remain a powerful resource to support future international-level events. In 2011, the Sports Administration and the Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee jointly launched the International Sports Affairs Training Course (ISATC), which imparts knowledge of international 4 APEC Economies' Perspectives on ASPN Related Foreword Policies Regional Sports Issues Events APEC Economies' Policies sports affairs through seminars and domestic and foreign internships, with the goal of developing outstanding international sports affairs professionals. When Malaysia hosted the 2017 Southeast Asian Games, the Malaysian organizing committee was responsible for all aspects of preparatory work, including budget allocation, human resources, facilities development, event sponsorship and management, transportation, and security. It recruited nearly 13,000 volunteers. Viet Nam recruits personnel primarily from the Viet Nam Sports Administration and regional sports bureaus when hosting international competitions. As those who work in the Viet NamSports Administration and regional sports bureaus have been engaged in sports-related work over the long term and also regularly attend sports-related training courses in the fields of sports medicine, sports management, sports science, anti-doping management, and Olympic activities, they have more relevant sports-related experience and skills than the average person. When the Philippines hosts competitions, it sets up committees based on the areas needed for the event. Once the competition is over, volunteers receive certificates of recognition. Volunteers who have undergone training are added to a database to serve as a talent pool for future mega sporting events. Thailand sets no limits on age, gender, or ethnicity when recruiting volunteers. The only criteria it considers are whether the time commitment and abilities of the applicants qualify them for the work of competition volunteers. To ensure that large-scale competitions go off without a hitch, Thailand recruits talent from a variety of fields, including human resources planning, marketing, administration and finance, transportation, lodging, food and beverages, and communications technology. Indonesia hosted the 2018 Asian Games. One important factor in the success of the event was the large number of well-trained volunteers. Indonesia established a special process and system to train volunteers for the games. To ensure the event would be a success, the organizer carefully evaluated applicants and carried out talent selection, general training, and task- specific training. It also organized many training lectures. During the recruitment process, it paid careful attention to

  • Asean Para Games
    ASEAN PARA GAMES OPENING AND CLOSING CEREMONIES 1 ASEAN PARA GAMES Opening Ceremony 3 December 2015, Singapore Indoor Stadium Closing Ceremony 9 December 2015, Marina Bay Sand 2 OVERVIEW The Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 8th ASEAN Para Games was directed by the award-winning Creative Director Philip Tan (Philbeat), who led a core creative team of 75 mem- bers. The ceremonies’ carried a bold central message, which is the celebration of human beings’ physical and mental abilities. This is a radical departure from the tone of charity that had hith- erto dominated the disability discourse in Singapore and the re- gion. Philip embedded colleagues with disability into all stages of production. A complex environment of teaching and learning was built into the 2-year production process. Associate Directors worked with other individuals and teams, which included profes- sionals, schools (comprising special education schools, secon- dary and tertiary institutions) and volunteers. 3 IMPACT The Ceremonies generated positive impact to its audiences, par- ticipants, partner institutions, and creative team members. Singa- pore’s Prime Minister called it ‘spectacular’. Together with the suc- cessful run of the Games (‘best ever’ — The New Paper 2015), they are paving the way for a paradigm shift in the disability dis- course in Singapore and the region. Firsts for the Ceremonies include: being beamed live to 3 countries and Youtube to 600 mil- lion in the region and beyond, with live interpretation and live cap- tioning. For a partnering school, the process was ‘exceptional’, letting ‘the status of our students with disabilities soar to great heights in an international platform’ (Metta School).

Despite the fact that sport events have been known to have significant impacts on a host destination‘s economy, society and environment, the majority of research in this area has had an ex post rather than ex ante focus. That is, many researchers have evaluated economic, social, and/or environmental impacts of sport events on host communities, rather than investigating how stakeholders can strategically plan to maximise the positive, and minimise the negative, outcomes from sport event hosting. Thus, moving on from this impact-oriented focus of the sport event literature, there is growing interest in the strategic leveraging of sport events. Leverage in this context refers to the activities that need to be undertaken around an event itself in order to maximise the benefits from hosting that event.
