Sports Events Network for Tourism and Economic Development in the <strong>Alpine</strong> <strong>Space</strong><br />
Transfer of knowledge in the field of sports events organisation in the <strong>Alpine</strong> <strong>Space</strong>.<br />
Aim<br />
The project aimed at fostering the transfer of knowledge in the<br />
field of sport events organisation and management within the<br />
<strong>Alpine</strong> <strong>Space</strong>, through the setting up of an ad hoc network.<br />
The main objective of this network was to promote economic<br />
development and tourism policies grounded in the philosophy<br />
of sustainable development. Large scale sport events have<br />
become a means to foster tourism as well as a promotion<br />
tool for the renown of a region. The <strong>Alpine</strong> <strong>Space</strong> has hosted<br />
several large scale sport events such as the Olympic Winter<br />
Games in Albertville, Innsbruck and Torino. What have we<br />
learnt from these experiences and how can we advise future<br />
organising committees to create sports events promoting sustainable<br />
development and tourism growth?<br />
Activities<br />
The knowledge transfer network consisted of the interregional<br />
network combining the know-how of the various project partners.<br />
This central forum and observatory disseminated the<br />
project results to non-partner entities. General meetings of all<br />
partners were organised every six months, often coupled with<br />
a transnational public conference. All documents produced by<br />
the network are still available on the project website:<br />
www.sentedalps.org.<br />
The network investigations were divided into three phases:<br />
The Candidature Phase focused on all the bidding and candidature<br />
processes.<br />
The Organisation Phase dealt with all the aspects linked to<br />
the planning and preparation of an event and its impact on<br />
sustainable development.<br />
The Operational Phase was focused on human resources<br />
management in sport events, in particular their volunteers,<br />
and the impact it can have on the regional and transnational<br />
human development of the <strong>Alpine</strong> <strong>Space</strong>.<br />
Outcomes and results<br />
The Sentedalps project has led to a series of deliverables and<br />
results:<br />
A Candidature Guide for sports events in the <strong>Alpine</strong> <strong>Space</strong>,<br />
taking into account the best practices in this field. This guide<br />
focus on two aspects i.e. why should a region/city bid for an<br />
event? What are the basic elements to take into account for<br />
a successful candidature from the organisers’ as well from<br />
the region’s points of view?<br />
An Organization Guide for sports events in the <strong>Alpine</strong> <strong>Space</strong>,<br />
based on the best cases so far. The guide focuses on the<br />
specificity of the <strong>Alpine</strong> <strong>Space</strong> in order to ensure successful<br />
and sustainable sports events.<br />
A Guide for managing and training the volunteers of sports<br />
events in the <strong>Alpine</strong> <strong>Space</strong>, which presents the best tools to<br />
develop specific human capital in the field of sports events<br />
management, in particular volunteers who are the cornerstone<br />
and the “face” of all events.<br />
Through these three guides and the several transnational<br />
conferences designed for the main actors in the field of sports<br />
events management (public authorities, organizing committees,<br />
sports federations), the Sentedalps project has lead to<br />
better managed sport events in the <strong>Alpine</strong> <strong>Space</strong>, as well as<br />
an improved efficiency of the public, private and non profit<br />
sectors in this area. The outputs and main recommendations<br />
demonstrated the ever-growing importance of sustainable development<br />
in spatial and regional development. The results<br />
provided can be considered as a basis towards a more intelligent<br />
and coordinated vision of sports events organisation in<br />
the <strong>Alpine</strong> <strong>Space</strong>.
