    The field of sports tourism is receiving increasing attention from various social actors, due to the important impact this economic sector has on various sectors of society. Once a locality becomes a tourist destination, the attachment of local residents will be affected by its development. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse residents' perceptions of the impact of active-sport tourism, community attachment and support for the sector. The results of the study indicate that the higher the level of people's positive perception of the social, cultural, environmental and economic impacts, the higher the support for tourism development. On the other hand, there is also a mediating influence of people's attachment to the community between the relationship of perceived impacts and support for active-sport tourism development. These findings provide a better understanding of people's perspectives for active-sport tourism, which can help guide future decisions regarding tourism practice, development and planning.

    Between September and November of 2023, a group of six professionals from two Chilean universities, one university in Spain and another in the United States participated in data collection for four research studies. These studies aimed to: (1) examine the social impact of the Pan American and Parapan American Games on residents; (2) understand the profile of tourists and their evaluation of the organization of the Games; (3) explore the motivation, psychological empowerment, work effort, satisfaction, and future intentions of the volunteers who participated in the Games; and finally, (4) investigate the factors that influence progress toward effective gender equality, both in sport participation and in the advancement to leadership positions among members of Pan American sports organizations. The data collection across these four studies exceeded 13,000 responses. Although these studies examine different aspects of the organization and impact of large-scale sporting events, they are interconnected by a common context: a large-scale and highly complex event, namely, the Santiago 2023 Pan American and Parapan American Games which, until then, had never been held in Chile. This project was supported by various institutions, including the Santiago 2023 Corporation, the Undersecretariat of Tourism of the Government of Chile, the Fundación Club Deportivo Universidad Católica, and the Chilean Olympic Committee. It also received support from the universities affiliated with the participating researchers: Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Universidad de Murcia (Spain), and West Virginia University (United States). (Spanish) Durante los meses de septiembre, octubre y noviembre de 2023, un grupo de seis profesionales pertenecientes a dos universidades chilenas y dos extranjeras participó en el levantamiento de datos para cuatro estudios de investigación. Estos estudios tuvieron como objetivo (1) Examinar el impacto social de los Juegos Panamericanos y Parapanamericanos en los residentes; (2) Conocer el perfil del turista y visitante, así como su valoración de la organización de los Juegos; (3) Analizar la motivación, el empoderamiento psicológico, el esfuerzo en el trabajo, la satisfacción y las intenciones futuras de los voluntarios que participaron en los Juegos; (4) Investigar los factores que inciden en el avance hacia una igualdad efectiva de género, tanto en la participación deportiva como en el acceso a posiciones de liderazgo dentro de las organizaciones deportivas panamericanas. La recolección de datos de estos cuatro estudios superó las 13.000 encuestas. Aunque cada investigación abordó distintos aspectos del impacto de los grandes eventos deportivos en la población de un país, todas se relacionan entre sí al compartir como contexto común un evento de gran magnitud y alta complejidad: los Juegos Panamericanos y Parapanamericanos Santiago 2023, los cuales, hasta ese momento, nunca se habían realizado en Chile. Este proyecto contó con el apoyo de diversas instituciones, entre ellas: la Corporación Santiago 2023, la Subsecretaría de Turismo del Gobierno de Chile, la Fundación Club Deportivo Universidad Católica y el Comité Olímpico de Chile. Asimismo, se contó con el apoyo de las universidades a las que pertenecen los investigadores participantes: la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, la Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, la Universidad de Murcia (España) y la Universidad de West Virginia (Estados Unidos).
