IMPACTS OF SPORT TOURISM
IMPACTS
Tourism can bring many economic and social benefits.
Tourism can only be sustainable if it is carefully managed so that potential negative effects on the host community and the environment are not permitted to outweigh the financial benefits.

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.

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
