Your task is to market India as a sport tourism destination. Discuss how this event would appeal to either an event sport tourist, an active sport tourist, a nostalgic sport tourist, or all three.
Using the various types of events outlined in the course textbook (e.g., multisport events, multiple location events, cross-cultural events), choose one of the events outlined in the case study and discuss how it falls under one or more of these types of events.
In the case study, Rahul Bhatnagar (the sports secretary of India) suggests that less than 50 million of the more than 700 million children in India have access to organized, competitive sport. Describe three to five activities or initiatives that you would suggest for enhancing youth sport in India.
According to the case study, India would like to bid on the 2032 Olympic Games. Do some further research on India and outline two or three ways you would promote India as the host of this type of first-order mega-event. Also, outline the two or three largest obstacles you believe India will face in terms of bidding on the Olympics. You should use APA style formatting for your work.
