The Effect of Mega Sporting Events on The Host City

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the Olympic Games as mega sports events. The aim of this research is to investigate the effects of mega sports events on host countries in the light of relevant literature. Method: This study is a systematic review. Document analysis was used as the data collection technique. The literature data of the study was obtained by searching the "Yök Thesis Databases," "Dergipark," and "ScienceDirect" search engines using four keywords: “Olympics”, “Effects of the Olympics”, “Olympic Games” and "Mega Sports Events." The quantitative output of the studies on the Olympics in "Dergipark," "ScienceDirect," and "Yök Thesis Database" was examined, and the outputs of the studies on the effects of the Olympics on the host country between 2012-2022 were interpreted. Results: When the findings of the studies were evaluated, it was concluded that mega sports events have impacts on tourism, world peace, motivation, economy, politics, environmental sustainability, and heritage. Based on the findings obtained from the research, it was concluded that major sports organizations in the literature, such as the Olympics, may provide significant opportunities for the host cities. Conclusion: The research has revealed that the Olympics leave a sustainable legacy for the host city, with impacts on politics, tourism, socio-cultural values, economics, world peace, and the sustainable development of the environment. Furthermore, the Olympics contribute to the development of sports culture, city services, environmental protection studies, and the cultural, social, and economic development of the host cities.
