Abstract

The growing sport event tourism sector generates substantial socio-economic impacts for host destinations. However, the Covid-19 pandemic significantly impacted this industry, resulting in a dramatic decline in international tourist arrivals of 20-30% globally (UNWTO, 2020a) and the cancellation/ postponement of sport tourism events (Hemmonsbey et al., 2021). An emerging topic within organisational management theory is that of “resilience”, which relates to how organisations proactively adapt to and recover from disturbances in the system. This study therefore aimed to determine existing applications of resilience theory to the sport event tourism industry to assess its usefulness for these organisations as they seek to recover from Covid-19. This paper focuses on the first stage of this study, reflecting the findings of a systematic literature review of articles relating to sport event tourism and organisational resilience (n=164). A qualitative analysis revealed the lack of application of this theory to this sector. A deeper analysis revealed the unique industry challenges and opportunities relating to organisational resilience for sport event tourism in times of global crises. The study extends the conceptualisation and application of resilience theory to the sport event tourism field of study. Drawing from this theory, it informs sport event tourism best practice in terms of preparedness for future crises and outlines an agenda for further research in this field.

体育赛事旅游组织与弹性理论——系统文献综述

不断发展的体育赛事旅游业对主办目的地产生了巨大的社会经济影响。然而，2019冠状病毒病大流行严重影响了这一行业，导致全球国际游客人数急剧下降20-30% (UNWTO, 2020a)，体育旅游赛事取消/推迟(Hemmonsbey et al.， 2021)。组织管理理论中的一个新兴主题是“弹性”，它涉及组织如何主动适应并从系统中的干扰中恢复。因此，本研究旨在确定弹性理论在体育赛事旅游业中的现有应用，以评估其对这些组织在寻求从Covid-19中恢复时的有用性。本文侧重于本研究的第一阶段，反映了对体育赛事旅游和组织弹性相关文章的系统文献综述的发现(n=164)。定性分析表明，这一理论在这一领域的应用不足。一项更深入的分析揭示了在全球危机时期与体育赛事旅游组织弹性相关的独特行业挑战和机遇。本研究将弹性理论的概念和应用扩展到体育赛事旅游研究领域。根据这一理论，它告知体育赛事旅游在防范未来危机方面的最佳实践，并概述了在这一领域进一步研究的议程。

期刊介绍： Event Management, an International Journal, intends to meet the research and analytic needs of a rapidly growing profession focused on events. This field has developed in size and impact globally to become a major business with numerous dedicated facilities, and a large-scale generator of tourism. The field encompasses meetings, conventions, festivals, expositions, sport and other special events. Event management is also of considerable importance to government agencies and not-for-profit organizations in a pursuit of a variety of goals, including fund-raising, the fostering of causes, and community development.
