The Winter Olympic Games have had both positive and negative impacts on sport tourism in host cities. The literature suggests that hosting the Olympics can increase international tourist arrivals significantly in the 8 years before, during, and 20 years after the event. However, the literature also shows that the Olympics do not always result in a growth in tourism due to the crowding out effect. This paper responds to limited qualitative research looking at Olympic-tourist behavior by identifying how and why Olympic-tourists engage with the host-city.
The Olympic Games go beyond just being a sporting mega-event; they are major occasions for the assembly of nations and cultures, extending beyond the family of athletes. Through the analysis of three case studies, this article aims to identify how tourism development fits into strategies that link industrial and Olympic.
The impact of the Olympics on tourism is complex and varies by location and timing. The current Winter Olympic Games had both positive and negative impacts on sport tourism in host cities. The fact that host countries and countries bidding for the Olympic Games enjoy positive tourism benefits before, during, and after the Olympics confirms the importance of the Olympic Games.
However, the way mega-events are spatially and regulatorily managed can lead to a decrease in normal tourists, resulting from those seeking to stay away from Olympic congestion, high prices, and security issues.
The scientific literature shows that there is not always an expansion of tourism due to a possible crowding out effect of tourists. This study examines the relationship between risk perceptions and travel intentions associated with an Olympic Games’ host country using an academic framework.
In conclusion, the impact of the Winter Olympic Games on tourism is complex and varies by location and timing.
📹 This is Why You Never Mess With a Royal Guard..
Visitors to London are often delighted to see the iconic Queens Guard standing motionless in their red coats in front of …

Another American doing a bad job on telling Youtube what he thinks he knows and getting it totally wrong. Even though he was talking about the British Guards regiments he slipped in a clip more than once of bad actors pretending to be British Guardsmen he also slipped in a clip again more than once clip of I think a Danish Guard (the one in blue/grey uniform) and even managed to show a clip of a pair of American soldiers basically a very poor attempt at telling this story 🙄🙄
First of all, if your country is so modern and progressive now why do you still need to punish a man just for smiling? Also why do they still need to wear that ridiculous hat if they need to be taken seriously! Their getup makes them look funny, not to mention killing bears for making such ridiculous hats. That is also unnecessary cruelty. Why do you need a hat out of bear skin in this age of technology when you have hundreds of fabrics to make your clothes from? And lastly, it will not be the end of the world nor the end of their masculinity if a man smiles once in a while. Even the deadliest of the assassins can smile once in a while. These archaic laws should be abolished and the bear skin hat thrown away. Enough killing bears and humans now.
So much wrong with this commentary. They are not elite and they are not secretive. They are not the Royal Guard nor the Queens Guard (or Kings Guard as you would now claim). They are elements of the British Armed Forces who happen to be on Ceremonial duties. They can be from the Army, Navy or Royal Air Force. Generally though they are from the Guards Division. Many of them would rather be on operations than “poncing about at a palace”. That said they are, like all the armed forces highly trained and professional and one of the best in the world.
What the hell is wrong with these people! These guards are working, doing their duty! What makes these total idiots think they can act so disrespectfully???!!! They should all be arrested and put in jail and fined. Does nobody have any sense of respect any more?!! These guards should be allowed do whatever is necessary to these rude ass idiots!!! How would they like it if people came to where they work and treated them like this, and the poor horses too!!!🤬
Why would anybody do such a silly job and take all that abuse? Standing still the whole day, not allowing to smile, having people constantly sort of harass you etc etc, and for what purpose? To protect whom? Those royals inside? My blunt opinion here is: I am from The Netherlands and we also have a Royal family, but I don’t care about those useless people, getting free money from us taxpayers, which runs in the millions while their possessions are already in the billions. All that money spent (read: wasted), on the royal family and the whole entourage could have better been used to help the poor, handicapped and other people in real need. But that’s my opinion.
These guards go through enough torture, without having to endure more from the public! Anyone who is foolish enough to try to get a guard to do what they are not allowed to do, e.g. smile or laugh, should be penalized, not the guard! And if a guard needs a break, another guard should be available to cover for him. The torture of having to stay perfectly still while having to go to the bathroom really bad is one good reason why they couldn’t pay me enough to do this inhumane job! LOL!
This so called Queen’s guard is not anything of the sort. His jacket hangs off him like bag. His shoulders are rounded, his posture stooped. This is somebody who has agreed to put on a baggy coat so he can be falsely mocked by a member of the public who is also acting. Anyone who has been in the military would recognise the fakeness of this scene. At least put some effort into it.
Several of the clips in this article are from comedy shows or of guards from other countries. The guards regiments are not only English, they are from all of the UK’s nations: there are Welsh, Scots and Irish guards regiments: Please don’t say England / English when you mean UK (“Britain”) / British… Any Welsh, Scots or Irish viewers will be very offended! Also, although the incident shown in the still in the title may have occurred, it is not covered in this article, so is yet another example of an unrepresentative title screen…🙄
3:30 – Check your facts. Getting sent to military prison? Which one? Canadians serve in Buckingham Palace in some capacity. I have never heard of anyone getting sent to military prison for smiling (again, you did not specify – which prison, where, on which charge on QR&O. And tell me what is prison called for military personnel in military slang?!
