| Summary: | This article aims to verify in the literature related to the Summer
Olympics the main economic and image implications for the destination
hosting it. A qualitative exploratory research was carried out with the
survey of scientific articles of the last twenty-five years in five different
databases. The studies indicate economic and image gains and losses
from hosting the games. As positive aspects, most of the studies
mention those coming from Olympic spending that provided long-term
gains for the resident population in the host locality and related to
tourist activity. The most cited negative aspects are related to
investments that generated benefits only in the short term or lack of
investment in infrastructure. It is concluded that the preparation and
implementation processes in each country are too different for the
results to be uniform. In addition, the diverse methodological aspects
of the articles also influence their results. |
