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>.
