4.02 - Measure economic impact of sport/event

Economic Impact of sport/eventThe significant investment by local governments suggests that the economic returns of sport must be quite large.

Teams, stadiums, and events are commonly promoted as economic catalysts.

Impact – Direct, Indirect, Induced

Direct Impact: The first round effect of visitor spending, that is, how much the restaurants, hotels, and others who received the initial amount spend on goods in the local economy and pay employees who live in the jurisdiction.

Indirect Impact: The ripple affect of additional rounds of recirculating the initial spectators dollars

Induced Impact: Further ripple effects caused by employees of impacted businesses spending some of their salaries and wages in other businesses in the city.

Factors to Consider?

Number of spectatorsNumber of attendees (non-

spectators)Percentage of spectators and

attendees from outside the 'host economy'
