Sportgroßveranstaltungen: Economic and social aspects

Health and safety

The health and safety of the athletes, visitors and staff are absolutely crucial for an event to be successful. Large sports events harbour the danger of accidents, conflicts erupting in large crowds and alcohol abuse. A full range of precautionary and safety measures is therefore indispensable. Such measures can incur significant costs, however, depending on the size of the event.
