SPORTS SUMMIT
The fi rst Global Sport Tourism Summit brought together leading global fi gures in sport, tourism, marketing, major and mass participation events for an in-depth and far ranging look at this growing sector of tourism. During the session the fi rst Global Sport Tourism Awards were also presented across nine different categories.
Delegates heard from speakers including: Stephen Roche - Tour de France Winner & Cyling Holiday & Training Camp Company, James Ralley - Head of Marketing & Commercial, All England Lawn Tennis Club, Tom Cassidy - Head of Tourism, Liverpool FC and ex-Manchester United star Dwight Yorke.
During the event it was announced that London, UK, has been awarded the title of top Global Sports City in the Sportcal Global Sports Cities Index for the fi fth consecutive year.
London has hosted, or is set to host, 13 world championships and multi- sports games over the analysed period (2010-2023). Only Moscow (16) and Paris (14, and a 2024 Olympic Games candidate city) will host more events during this period. However, these do not score as highly as the events taking place in London. London was placed fi rst ahead of this year’s Olympic Games host Rio de Janeiro while the host of the 2020 edition, Tokyo, moves above Moscow into third place and Doha moves above Paris into fi fth.
