In this edition of Navigate, we take a close look at event tourism with a feature on the 2012 Summer Olympics and the Stratford Shakespeare Festival. Our findings show that 35% of travellers who have visited or plan to visit an Olympic host city were positively influenced by the Games. The ability of travel, hospitality and leisure companies to take full advantage of international sporting events and their legacy is determined by intense preparation and a strategic view of targeting new customers.
