Economic Impact

Economic impact can refer to any change in the flow of money (income) in the economy of a region
Most commonly measured in terms of:

Direct
Economic Impact

Indirect
Economic Impact

Induced
Economic Impact

Sport Activity Holidays
Economic significance
Economic features of sport to rejuvenate a community
Economic features
Economic Impact
Examined in 4 ways:

Standeven & DeKonp, 1999

Economic Impact
Impact depends on:
Economy
Dependency of imported goods
Sophistication of existing tourism industry
Standeven & DeKonp, 1999

Trouble Measuring
Standeven & DeKonp, 1999
Typically absorbed into the existing tourism studies
Studies rarely ask about the purpose of the trip
Sport participation statistics only focus on residents and their activity.
Activities are grouped very broadly

How Do We Measure
“Our STEAM2.0 model uses standardized visitor expenditure profiles that have been developed using primary data (30,000 event-related surveys), which is then supplemented with the latest data from Statistics Canada. This spending estimate is then combined with capital and operations expenditures to produce an overall estimate of the expenditures associated with the event, which is then entered into the economic impact assessment component of the model to produce the predicted economic impact.

Concerns with Economic Impact
Designated Impact Region
“Displacement”
“Leakages”
(Rishe, 2011)

Common Errors with Economic Impact
1. Confusing economic impacts with benefits to users
2. Not clearly defining the action for which impacts are desired
3. Not defining an appropriate impact region and separating “new” dollars from outside the area from local spending.
4. Using inappropriate multipliers

(MSU, n.d.)

Common Errors with Economic Impact
(MSU, n.d.)
5. Mismatch between spending and visit information
6. Not margining goods that are purchased or otherwise accounting for spending that is captured by the local region
7. Not isolating tourist spending from local spending

REVIEW – Social Impact

https://www.abcactionnews.com/sports/super-bowl/economist-says-estimates-of-super-bowls-impact-often-exaggerated
Sean Snaith, University of Central Florida Institute for Economic Forecasting director, said he would expect this year’s Super Bowl to have a 30 to 40 percent smaller economic impact than a regular year, which usually ranges between $350 million and $500 million.Jan 8, 2021
Direct –
ampa will still host thousands of league employees, media, support staff and at least a few thousand ticketholders willing to shell out five figures for a seat. Those folks will spend money somewhere.
Indirect –
x-Buc Derrick Brooks, the co-chairman of the city’s Super Bowl host committee, pointed to more than $2 million that’s come to town through various NFL community initiatives. And Rob Higgins, executive director of the Tampa Bay Sports Commission, called business surrounding the game “a shot in the arm when we need it the most.”
nd more out-of-towners in local hotels. A successful Super Bowl, Corrada said, would bring about 80 percent to 90 percent hotel bed occupancy in Hillsborough County. As of this week, the county was at 50 percent.

Accessibility & Inclusion
(Edmonton Sport Council, 2019)

Sport or physical activity events offer the possibility to change societal attitudes towards inclusion, to make a community more accessible for diverse populations, and hopefully to provide sustainable opportunities to engage under-represented groups. Your event could be a milestone on someone’s journey to feel accepted within their community
Social legacies focused on accessibility and inclusion create opportunities, engagement, and awareness for persons with disabilities, Indigenous peoples, the LGBTQI2S+ community, women and girls, marginalized youth, those living in poverty and isolated communities, newcomers to Canada, and/or the elderly.
Durham Parasport Games –
Not only did the Games competitions and other events run smoothly, but the sponsorship and fundraising target was bettered by more than 250 per cent for a total of almost $218,000 (not including cash contributions from the Region of Durham and the Regional Tourism Organization).
The legacy fund target of $22,500 was also surpassed by nearly 500 per cent for a total of $111,900.
The legacy funding will be used to raise awareness, along with opportunities and participation in parasport and adaptive sport in Durham Region. Committed initiatives, include:
Durham Adaptive Sport Collective (which met for the first time in October 2019) and working subcommittees.
An online catalogue of adaptive sport opportunities and support available in Durham Region.
A grant program to support youth from lower income families to participate in parasport, in partnership with Durham-based not-for-profit Their Opportunity.
A two-year Parasport School Grow It outreach program delivered in partnership with Abilities Centre and the Durham Adaptive Sport Collective, to introduce four parasports, which includes providing instruction and some equipment, to 25 to 30 schools in Durham Region.
A new annual Parasport Festival hosted in Durham Region.
