Leaders Special Report – Bidding and Staging: The host city equation
Host cities are among the biggest contributors to the global sports economy, but their contribution is not always recognised.
With the economics of major events under greater scrutiny than ever before, cities and rights holders are working together in new ways, and exploring new ways of measuring return on investment.
The latest Leaders Special Report, produced in partnership with Greater Orlando Sports Commission, examines the changes in the ways major events, notably the Olympic Games and FIFA World Cup, are awarded and staged; explores the new range of considerations – societal, environmental, political - for would-be host cities and the rights holders tasked with selecting venues; and charts the new world order, as the travel and tourism sector looks to rebound after the Covid-19 lockdowns of 2020.
It features exclusive commentary from bidding consultants, major event organisers and tourism experts to build a picture of how host city-rights holder relationships are evolving to meet the current circumstances.
