Significance of the Olympic games for tourism development
Golovenko, Anastasiya ; Kondrashov, Alexey (advisor) ; Vaško, Martin (referee)
The theoretical part of my thesis is focused on the history and development of the Olympic Games from its foundation to the present days. It shortly describes the Olympic Movement and everything that refers to this term. The aim of my thesis is to rank sporting events into the tourism system, determine their impacts on tourism and give typical examples. There is also a second goal, aiming to confirm the hypothesis that sporting events can significantly affect tourism. The practical part includes the examination of the impact and importance of the Olympic Games for the economic and social spheres. It will focus in detail on the Olympics in Vancouver 2010 and the present Olympic Games in Sochi. The work also examined the social aspects of Olympic visitors and the destination itself, for this reason a questionnaire was created to inspect whether this event affects the image of a tourist destination.
