Abstract

The aim of the this study is to determine the Russian tourists’ expenditures during the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games, comparing these with tourists’ expenditures 2 years before and examine their affecting factors. The analysis showed that Olympic tourists’ expenditures were significantly higher than spending of other leisure travellers and amounted approximately US$ 2,000 per a trip. It was also found that the expenditures’ structure of Olympic tourists differed from other tourists due to the additional spending on the Olympic events and a higher cost of accommodation. The level of Olympic tourists’ expenditures was influenced by many socio-demographic and travel-related factors such as family income, occupation, type of accommodation, purpose of the trip
