Including a variety of international and comparative case studies from a range of contributing academics, this will be essential reading for students and researchers in the field of Event studies as well as various disciplines including Tourism, Heritage studies and Urban and Environmental studies.

Book excerpt: As major sporting events become increasingly digitized, sports officials are increasingly concerned about cybersecurity. From scoring and judging systems to retail transactions and the home viewer experience, many aspects of major sporting events are incorporating new forms of internet connectivity. Along with such new technology comes great opportunity – but also great risk. This report is the first to systematically review the cybersecurity risks posed by digital technologies that are being incorporated into major sporting events. Using the Olympic Games as a case study, it lays out a framework for evaluating potential risks posed by digital technologies in sports, and highlights new possible threats that will arise as these technologies are deployed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores perceptions of risk-related factors that may discourage travel to the summer Olympics. Specifically, the research analyzes the degree to which risks related to environmental concerns, instability, and personal limitations impacted travel intentions to the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and the 2020 Games in Tokyo, Japan which were held without spectators due to a global pandemic. The purpose of the study was to analyze the degree to which risk-related factors significantly impacted Olympic tourism intentions. Almost identical surveys were administered in the United States (U.S.) and the People's Republic of China approximately two months before the opening ceremony for the 2016 Rio Olympics and again before the originally scheduled 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book aims to outline the progress, problems and challenges of delivering a safe and secure Olympics in the context of the contemporary serious and enduring terrorist threat. The enormous media profile and symbolic significance of the Olympic Games, the history of terrorists aiming to use such high-profile events to advance their cause, and Al Qaeda's aim to cause mass casualties, all have major implications for the security of London 2012. Drawing on contributions from leading academics and practitioners in the field the book will assess the current terrorist threat, particularly focusing on terrorist targeting and how the Olympics might feature in this, before addressing particular response themes such as transport security, the role of surveillance, resilient designing of Olympic sites, the role of private security, and the challenge of inter-agency coordination. The book will conclude by providing an assessment of the legacy of Olympic security to date and will discuss the anticipated issues and dilemmas of the future. This book will be of interest to students of terrorism studies, security studies, counter-terrorism and sports studies.
