The Impact of Risk Factors on Olympic Travel Intentions by Bonnie Tiell Pdf
This study explores perceptions of risk-related factors that may discourage travel to the summer Olympics.

The purpose of the study was to analyze the degree to which risk-related factors significantly impacted Olympic tourism intentions. Almost identical surveys were administered in the United States (U.S.) and the People's Republic of China approximately two months before the opening ceremony for the 2016 Rio Olympics and again before the originally scheduled 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
