| description | Between 2014 and 2016, Rio de Janeiro hosted two mega sport events
– the Fédération Internationale de Football Association World Cup and
the Olympic Games – which generated changes in the city. This study
sought to analyse Rio residents’ perceptions in the lead-up to the latter
games. A quantitative survey was conducted face-to-face with a sample
of 404 residents, exactly one year before the Olympics. The data
indicated that the residents found the pre-game period troubling
because of uncertainties regarding the city’s desired Olympic legacy.
Residents’ routines were impacted by either traffic issues or media
reports that generated expectations and apprehension. The preOlympic period was marked by protests, concerns about overspending,
construction delays and fears about the mega-events’ success.
However, residents’ perceptions included clear expectations regarding
the event legacy’s implications for tourism businesses and the
destination’s visibility, as well as lasting improvements affecting
tourism and sport activities |
