As Jean Harvey from Ottowa University in Canada and Francois Houle mentioned in the article with title of Sport, World Economy, Global Culture, and New Social Movements listed in the journal ( Sociology of Sport Journal,1994,11, 337-355), big sport organizations (Olympiads, FIFA World Cup, Wimbledon Tennis Tounament,etc.) take an important place in making an effort to get into the market as a supranational and homogenous culture all over the world market strategy of international companies.
As Markus Kurscheidt and his friends mentioned in the article with title of “A Socioeconomic Approach to Sports: Lessons From Fitness and Event Markets”, the market of body building centers have showed up for over 20 years as a rising industry. In 2002 the number of these centers reaches 6500 in Germany and the number of their members reaches 5.08 million and they become a market as circulated 3.16 billion per year.

As the article with title “The economic impact of local sport events: significant, limited or otherwise? A case study of four swimming events” which Robert Wilson from Sheffield University has written up, sport event has an important catalyzator feature for economical and urban generation.
As in this respect in investigation that made in England always is expressed the economical affect of big sportive organizations, in a survey for small regional organization occurs these aspects. In economical mobility as 84.628 pounds which occur in 4 regional swimming competitions that continue for 8 days has been detected in gradation from more to less, as expenses of hotel prices, food – beverage, shopping and souvenir. While %55 of these incomes (46.916 pounds) are gained by audiences, they get so exceeded to rates for international swimming competitions (Europe Youths Swimming Competition %8; Europe Short Distance Swimming Competition %9 ). As the rate of players’ economical mobility is %41 (35,264 pounds), they go down so below to rates for international swimming competitions (Europe Youths Swimming Competition %81; Europe Short Distance Swimming Competition %56).
Big sport organizations tha impose an important economical burden to host communities till 1980’s ( For example 1976 Munich Olympiad Games 692 billion pounds ) turn into important one each economical income from 1984 Los Angeles Olympiad Games ( 215 million pounds income ). As1996 Atlanta Olympiad Games bring economic mobility of 5,1 billion dollars, it creates about 77.000 new jops in the same time. In USA economical values that declared in national and international sport organizations reach at surprising level.
For example: That 400 million dollars for 1999 championship match Super Bowl in National American Football League (NFL), 75 million dollars profit for match ‘’1999 All Star’’ in American Baseball 1. League and 110 million dollars income for ‘’1998 Basketball Final Four’’ were procreated was declared. Euro 96 in England has been accepted as a big achievement with economical effects ( the payment for 280,000 quantity of visitor audience and journalist is 120 million pounds, 900,000 beds / night work and 4,000 full time jop / year that they created to region hotels. These results causes to go into the effort of bringing big sport organizations to their countries.
It was declared that such big organizations have created so important TV presentation opportunity (6 million poeple and 190 countries). Host can create the image of such an attractive world city for city tourism due to this short-dated TV broadcast. For example Atlanta was approved as a world city after 1996 Olympiad Games. Barcelona still has a city that international sport institutions and sport tourists prefer feature under favour of sports facilities which are inherit from olympiad games. How audiences which watch organization from TV will be got within comes to exist as an important subject and with this way marketing strategies are enforced.
As declaration that Turkey National Olympiad Committee General Secretary declared in Dünya Newspaper: after television and sponsorship rights of games are sold with a good marketing strategy, six city with a record number of that period had become candidate for 1992 Olympiad Games due to games’ contributing to South California economy as 3,29 billion dollars in the end of 1984 Los Angeles Olympiad Games.
As the formal report of Olympiad Games, exportation of industrial properties in 1988 that exported by South Korea which organizes 1988 Seoul Olympiad Games have reached 60-67 billion dollars by showing raise %28.3 as previous year. Gross national product per capita which is 2,321 dollars in 1986 has gone up 3,728 dollars in 1988; again gross national product which is 953 million dollars in 1986 has gone up 1 billion 561 million dollars in 1988. On the other hand the tourist count that visit South Korea in 1988 have reached 2,300.000 by showing raise %23 as previous year and brought-in as 300 million dollars to country economy.
Seoul Games causes for making unemployment rate decrease by creating additional business fields as 302,000 people in years between 1982 and 1988 too.
Barcelona City in Spain that although it has lost after candidated four times for organizing Olympiad Games, it wasn’t undeterred and obtained this chance with 1992 Olympiad Games as fifth candidature had arisen at eighth between the most developed and habitable cities in Europe in the middle of 1991. Moreover Barcelona Olympiad Games causes for making unemployment rate decrease by creating additional business fields as 326,301 people in years between 1986 and 1992 years too.
The economic contribution of Georgia state that 1998 Atlanta Olympiad Games made between 1991 and 1997 years is 5.1 billion dollars and in the end of games state government had obtained tax revenue as 176 million dollars. Employment that increased gradually every year beginning from the taken games in Atlanta had reached 77,000 people in 1996 which was year that games were organized.
As research results on the affect of 2000 Sydney Olympiad Games,7,3 billion australia dollars were added to the gross national product of Australia and games had created additional business fields as 150,000 people. Again in this period it is expected that tourists who consist of 174,000 local and 1,3 million additional foreigners visit Sydney and they make contribution to country economy as 3 billion australia dollars. Sydney Games make the trading operation of Australia increase and revenue about 3,5 billion australia dollars will be provided from additional export in the period of 1994-2004. Along about all this, Australia will have sport complex as world-ranking and can always organize big international sport competition in a best way.
IOC that sold the telecast and sponsorship rights of olympiad games to various broadcasting organisations and companies all over the world, had sold telecast rights in USA to NBC television channel as amounting 1,181 billion dollars last week ( 2008 Beijing was almost 894 million dollars ) despite of not being neither fish nor fowl that which city 2012 Olympiad Games will organize in.
The revenue that will come from telecast rights will absorb about %60 of budget expense that the city which will organize 2012 Olympiad Games has. The other half of budget will become equal with revenues which come from ticket sales, sponsor and souvenir too.
If İstanbul organizes Olympiad Games, in the preparation period for seven years that till organized after taken games direct investment will be made as amounting 1 billion 772 million dollars on the project of İstanbul Olympiad and budget will be absorbed with revenues that come from the telecast rights of games, ticket sales, sponsorship and the program of souvenir sales. In this period it was expected that being created additional business fields as 180,000 people annual, being contributed additional contribution to our gross national product with direct and indirect investment as amounting 8 billion dollars and about 2,5 million additional tourists visit our country.
Regardless sport is an important instrument that all sections take advantage on condition that come up with universal values which have been presented by international organizations. Various cooperation agreements have been made for providing this. The cooperation protocol that has been signed between World Tourism Agency (WTA) and International Olympiad Committee (IOC) in Barcelona in the year of 2001 and the agreements that contains organization criterions which international sport organizations have declared for city and /or countries that want to organize their own organizations are such good examples that can be shown in this case.
