The paper looks at the way demand is created for hotel accommodation through a range of factors, such as price, advertising, complimentary and competing factors, disposable income and even fashions and tends. Holding a large sporting event such as the Olympic Games impacts on al of these factors and also create new and different pressures. Literature looking at the impact on the hotel industry is sparse, and is contradictory, some indicates short and long term benefits, and others look at long term costs and the negative results. A third perspective argues that the result depend on the city and the level of maturity in the tourism industry.
