Government is one of the most important stakeholder in the event planning and
organizing process. Government plays important role in the event launching process. Mostly
huge size events need large size area to organize it properly. To use the public property for event
it is compulsory to take permission of government authorities legalize the event. Thisn is
important for company to provide information to government to make them aware of what will
be happen in event (Chan, 2015). By this they can get ensured from the government side. This
will prevent legal action against the event. That is how government can play crucial role in
successfully launching a event.

government helps and large amount of voluntary funding from the different sources of world.
The tourism was prompted of the country as it became the platform for the economic
development for London Olympics sports club and sports facilities which has been made for

people . On the other hand there was the argument as it leads to shut down of many shops,
people were asked to have the less travel and start having the work from home which at last

recovered.
The next is about having the social impact as it was not so much in compare to economical and
technological which gives the inhabitants deeper identity and recognition to be the part with a
hi-tech and world-famous city of the world (Mataruna-Dos-Santos, Zardini-Filho and Cazorla

SWOT ANALYSIS OF OLYMPIC GAMES
STRENGTH
In Olympic events top sportsmen take part
from different countries across the world in
various games. Participation of the different
sportsmen in every discipline is a world-class
event and a treat to watch. The media coverage
is unmatched that means at Olympic events
people can see media maximum media as
compare to any event. Every media generalist
stay close to the place where events were
happening at that time to show first on their
channels. Olympic events gives opportunity to
the participants from host country to showcase
their talents in front of the whole world. It
seems as progress for humans to participate in
Olympic events. It gives chance to the
unknown athletes to display their skills and
talents to audience that came from different
countries (Edouard and et.al., 2018).
WEAKNESSES
Some incidents of doping put a question mark
on credibility of the Olympic events. So these
things bring negative thoughts in the mind of
people. As participants (athletes) come from
different countries and even big stars or
famous personalities even came to cheer the
performance of their respective countries.
Safety issues can be questionable as the Acts of
Terrorism like one happen in 1972 in Munich,
so it becomes difficult for the countries to trust
the safety measures of the host countries
regarding their athletes. So it might possible
that countries don't send their athletes to
present in host country, this will put those
participants and their talents behind from
others. Various countries have boycott
participating in such events due to political
issues between the nations.
OPPORTUNITIES
Olympic events have the capability to
encourage the youths to develop their career in
such fields and showcase their talents and get
rewards. Athletes get so much appraise and
recognition in world due to these events, world
know them. More opportunities are they can
include cricket, Polo, Golf and Base-Ball as
well to encourage more people to participate
and show their talents. As cricket is one of the
THREAT
The major threat from such events are terrorist
attacks. It might increase in future and put a
stop on the future activities. It might happen
that as sports become more of professional in
nature, the superstar skip Olympic games. Due
to threats it will reduce the revenue for the host
country as athletes will not come to participate
due to the fear to terrorism in the host country.
There might be technical and financial failures
9

famous sports for most of the countries so it
will increase the viewers and revenue. Higher
anti-doping standards will help in restoring the
confidence of fans. It gives opportunity to
develop or create good relationship between
the people of different countries. IT gives
advantages of going on tour to different parts
of world wherever the event is organized.
that can hamper the event and it's happening.
Environmental factors can also affect the
occurrence of the events. Weather can be rough
on the day of the event as some sports tend to
happen in open grounds so it might cause
problems. So the organizing company has to
make sure about every facility.
