INTRODUCTION
Global events are those events which occurred globally. Global events are defined as the
events of a limited time duration that have a global reach and require significant public
investment and made impact on public and built environment. First global event occurred when a
volcano erupted in Iceland. It was a tough time for Iceland because the dust and the ashes caused
the airports to shutdown and huge demolition in schedules around the globe. Michael Jackson
was a star in US but when he broke up with their brothers and went solo in 1980s, it became a
global event. Cricket was started in early 13th century as a game in which country boys bowled at
a tree stump . This gate comprise of two uprights and a crossbar resting on the slotted tops,
crossbar called a bail and the entire gate a wicket. The reality that bail could be dislodged when
the wicket was struck made this preferable to the stump , later named as hurdle uprights. Early
documents differed about the size of the wicket. In this report the global event which was
covered is Cricket World Cup 2007(Li, 2020 Liu and Kennell, 2022). It took place in west
indies from 13 March to 28 April. 51 Total matches occurred, 3 fewer then world cup 2003.
Their was a total of 16 competitors individually, divided into 4 groups.

P1 Examination of the Diversity of the Global events sector including its structure and how it is
organised, together with the place of different types of events within our society
Events of a world-wide importance, require significant public investment and are for a limited
duration such as Olympics, World cups, Expos etc. are Global events. These events can be of
different types based on their size, number of people attending it, extent of media attention etc.
Here are the major types of Global events:-
– MEGA EVENTS: -
These are short-term events or the events for limited and fixed duration that attracts a
large number of spectators, have a very large media coverage, conducted with high cost and have
a large impact on the population and the environment it is conducted in. These events require
high public investments into stadiums which hold the events, housing, widespread transit
systems etc. (Lockstone-Binney and Ong, 2019).They are high profile events and have a
significant and permanent consequences on the host region or country. They may include
international sports and cultural events, Olympics, Commonwealth etc.
Structure : These events are structured on the basis of different factors like what will be the
number of visitors, how big the media coverage would be, how much cost or public investment
would it require. All these factors are taken into account before organising the event. Further
every function of the event is assigned to the defined team and these teams are given proper
authority and responsibilities to accomplish the given tasks. These teams also are responsible for
monitoring and controlling the activities of the tasks assigned to them. In order to carry out the
tasks efficiently, these defined groups work with effective coordination.
How the event is organised : Planning a mega event can be a little complicated because of the
scope of the project. A chief track and some skilled engineers are appointed to avoid risk and
derailing of the event. Available financial resources and sources of funds are analysed. Revenues
to cover capital and operating cost are anticipated. Top level administration, financial, legal. Site
development, marketing departments are established. Theme of the event is decided. Further the
Support services are taken care of.
 HALLMARK EVENTS :-These events are organised on either regular or one-off basis.
These are major expositions, cultural or sporting events, fairs organised on international
level. Also referred as special events, these events have a primary function to enhance the
awareness and profitability of the host community. These events majorly rely on their
