Revving up tourism: Formula One and other big events look set to drive growth in the hospitality industry

In late 2023, I embarked on my first Formula One race experience, attending the first-ever Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Key Points: 
  • In late 2023, I embarked on my first Formula One race experience, attending the first-ever Las Vegas Grand Prix.
  • And what better place to learn how to do that than in the stands of the Las Vegas Grand Prix?

The future of tourism is in events and experiences

  • Tourism is fun, but it’s also big business: In the U.S. alone, it’s a US$2.6 trillion industry employing 15 million people.
  • And with travelers increasingly planning their trips around events rather than places, both industry leaders and academics are paying attention.
  • In 2023, Lollapalooza generated an estimated $422 million for the local economy and drew record-breaking crowds to the city’s hotels.

Why Formula One?

  • Formula One offers a prime example of the economic importance of event tourism.
  • In 2022, Formula One generated about $2.6 billion in total revenues, according to the latest full-year data from its parent company.
  • A record 5.7 million fans attended Formula One races in 2022, up 36% from 2019.
  • That’s why I think of Formula One as more than just a pastime: It’s emblematic of a major shift in the tourism industry that offers substantial job opportunities.
  • And it takes more than drivers and pit crews to make Formula One run – it takes a diverse range of professionals in fields such as event management, marketing, engineering and beyond.

How hospitality and business programs should prepare students

  • To align with the evolving landscape of mega-events like Formula One races, hospitality schools should, I believe, integrate specialized training in event management, luxury hospitality and international business.
  • So, programs may consider incorporating courses in sustainable event management, eco-friendly hospitality practices and innovations in sustainable event and tourism.
  • Beyond hospitality and business, other disciplines such as material sciences, engineering and data analytics can also integrate F1 into their curricula.

Racing into the future: Formula One today and tomorrow

  • These decisions, along with the continued growth of the sport’s fan base and sponsorship deals, underscore F1’s economic significance and future potential.
  • Looking ahead in 2024, Formula One seems ripe for further expansion.
  • We already know that was effective marketing – after all, it inspired me to check out the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

In Chile, huge wildfires have killed at least 131 people – but one village was almost untouched

Existing diseases have been exacerbated by service interruptions, and people have lost their homes and livelihoods.

Key Points: 
  • Existing diseases have been exacerbated by service interruptions, and people have lost their homes and livelihoods.
  • It is a disaster mainly caused by our decisions and lack of preparation to deal with a more extreme climate hazard.
  • As an academic disaster researcher from Chile, I think there are lessons we can learn from these fires.

Fire-prone conditions

  • Meteorological conditions have made Chile very prone to fires this summer, especially in this long-and-thin country’s central region, where it is warm enough for fires yet wet enough for there to be vegetation to burn.
  • Conditions were dry on top of a longer-term mega-drought, and relative humidity was low.
  • It is very likely that these conditions have been influenced by El Niño, on top of human-induced climate change.

Formula for a (not natural) perfect disaster

  • This is exactly what happened in Chile: a deadly combination of an extreme climate hazard and inadequate social preparation.
  • Several antennas were affected by the fires and not properly working, so many people did not receive the message on time.
  • This led to traffic jams and bottlenecks, some of which became engulfed in the middle of the fires.

Climate-related hazards shouldn’t turn disastrous

  • However, the human health risks this poses can be reduced by adequate preparedness and response plans.
  • Villa Botania, near the city of Quilpué in central Chile, emerged from these fires as an interesting example to learn from.
  • This can save lives, as shown by the success since the 1970s of anti-seismic building regulations in this earthquake-prone country.
