The Paris 2024 - Comité d'organisation des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de 2024 is set to be the largest event ever organised in France, presents a daunting and unique logistical challenge. The games hosts over 10,500 athletes, accommodates more than 10 million spectators, and also involves thousands of media representatives and officials, which means meticulous planning is required for the event to go ahead without disruption. In this piece, we delve into the intricate logistics strategies deployed to ensure the smooth running of the world’s largest sporting event, drawing upon the insights from official Paris 2024 logistics provider CEVA Logistics, as well as FM Logistic, and Denholm Good Logistics.

Major sporting events are merging one into another in the Global north, providing ongoing challenges to #urban #sustainability. After the final of the Euro 2024 football championship and the finals weekend at Wimbledon, the end of July 2024 will herald the launch of the Olympics in Paris. One research into 16 past events found that their sustainability score had deteriorated over time. Indeed the winners of the gold, silver and bronze medals (and the other ones to score well above 50) were quite dated: Salt Lake City (2202), Albertville (1992) and Barcelona (1992), respectively. Looking ahead, in an idealised world cities should be made to compete to show which can deliver the most sustainable Olympics, thus earning a genuine gold. At the moment, Olympic events win pewter, rather than gold medals for sustainability. https://wix.to/NeO17v3

As the Paris 2024 #Olympics is ongoing, it's worth examining whether hosting such mega-events truly benefits a nation's brand and economy. Jose Filipe Torres, in his book Nation Brand Builders (page 48), provides a critical perspective on this issue. Enjoy the read: ——— ARE THE OLYMPICS AND OTHER BIG EVENTS WORTH IT? Global events are great opportunities for countries to change their image. At least, countries seem to view them as great opportunities. The Olympics always create a lot of controversy and get a lot of press. Everyone wants to host them and be part of the games, especially during the medal ceremonies. That's because countries believe the Olympics really boost their image as a nation. For example, in looking at the Olympic Games, you will see that countries systematically spend millions of US dollars to get the chance to host the event. Clearly, some very powerful people think that ben in the world spotlight for two weeks will have a major impact on their reputation and economy. But are the Olympics really good for countries? Do they create a long term impact? Sho answer: most of the time, it's a No. Personally, I don't believe that the Olympics are a great investment. It's true that the amount of publicity the Olympics generate is indeed valuable, but only if it's used at the right moment, in the right way and as part of an overall strategy. #Paris2024 #Olympics #NationBranding #Paris2024Olympics #Paris #France #Tourism #SportsMarketing

🌍 Debate continues about whether significant sporting events do more harm than good to host destinations and is likely to amplify as the Paris Olympics commence this summer. 🇫🇷 Stepping aside from such discussion, it is worth drawing attention to the interesting marathon route devised for the Paris Olympics. The route has historical and cultural significance, following in the footsteps of the historic Women’s March on Versailles in 1789, a pivotal moment in the French Revolution. For the first time, the women's marathon will take place after the men's event to celebrate the route's significance further. 💡 This is an excellent example of how destinations can think creatively about bringing their unique history to life and reflect these in experiences and events. For instance, we can all think of local events or experiences that may benefit from simply thinking 'out of the box' and rethinking how such experiences can highlight fascinating aspects of local history or culture.

Astonishing rate of change - at about the pace needed in cities across the world in light of the climate emergency. And the methods used (bar the pandemic bit) are highly replicable….
