This study analyses the economic impact of the Biathlon World Cup 2009 in Antholz-Anterselva. The survey concentrates on the immediate, direct and short-term additional revenue brought into the region by foreign sports event spectators. The authors first apply an expenditure-based segmentation technique to data collected during the event to separate respondents according to socio-demographic variables. Second, a Tobit analysis is applied to obtain an expenditure model that is useful in explaining the different determinants of trip expenditures by spectators of the event. The results reveal significant socio-demographic differences between the four expenditure groups. For instance, heavy spenders are composed mainly of mature tourists, arriving for the first time in medium-sized groups. Also, the most important factors in total expenditure are income level, the geographical origin of the spectator and the size of the travel group.
