–2012): origins, evolution and projections
Description
The Olympic Games is recognised worldwide as the largest sports mega-event - certainly, the event attracting the largest amount of media coverage globally. As well as a sports event, the Olympics are a cultural phenomenon, with a history spanning more than 100 years and supported by a global network of organisations with an educational and intercultural remit that defines itself as a Movement and aspires to promote Olympism as a 'philosophy of life', headed by the International Olympic Committee.

Description
The Olympic and Paralympic Games provide few direct tourism benefits outside the host city. 1- How valuable and useful are pre-Games predictions of Olympic tourism impacts that might take place? 2- Does it matter that the host city gets tourism benefits, but the rest of the host country often loses out? 3- How can Games hosts be persuaded to measure and account for negative and neutral tourism impacts?
