The summer Olympic Games in 1992 not only brought Barcelona to the center of the world stage but also dedicates new life to this historical city. Like many cities where such famous monumental events were held, cash was hurt to give visitors a good impression and the number of these visitors increased dramatically. Tourism has soared rapidly and has continued since this.
But the benefit to Barcelona was more than that. Barcelona is the capital of Catalunya, one of Spain's 17th autonomous regions, and the game brought Catalan culture to the world's eyes.
According to a survey by game organizers, Spain was closely related to the sun, Siesta, Sangria, even bullfighting, castanets and flamenco. The Catalan language culture was inherently invisible outside Western Europe and the way to plan Spanish culture and people fairly and accurately while maintaining the essence of this country in line with the purpose of the contemporary Olympic Games was a challenge.
Barcelona applied for this game three times without succeeding. Christopher Columbus discovered America in Spain just after 500 years, so it should be awarded the 1992 Olympic Games.
Along with renovation and refurbishment of El Prat airport and the Olympic port of Pub Know, the city has changed to prepare the event as well as the construction of a new sports complex. Known as the Port Olimpic, this area is close to Villa Olimpica, famous for its excellent restaurants and unique clubs and bars.
However, the most important result of the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games was not the scene itself of sports itself, especially what we did for tourism in Spain and Barcelona was to promote Catalan culture. In 1992, Catalunya was not generally accepted as a distinct and distinct region of Spain, as was commonly known outside Spain, and its culture was likewise given to anyone but interested in the country as well It was not known.
All these Olympic games have changed. Barcelona and its Catalan culture have mapped maps, and since then it is prominent in Spain's geography, culture and cuisine. That's why so many tourists visit Barcelona. However, this was not the only aspect of Spain and Barcelona. The architecture of Gaudi and the master of such a master like Goya became known not only to those educated in these aspects of Spanish culture but also to general visitors. A wonderful Pablo Picasso has a museum in Barcelona.
In terms of advertising Barcelona as a cultural center, in the Olympic Games in 1992, it was achieved in a short period of weeks realized in a matter of weeks to the list of places visited by many people. In addition to the construction of Port Olímpic and Villa Olímpica, sports facilities in Montjuic, Vall d & Hebron, Diagonal also reminded me the benefits that Barcelona gained when winning the Olympic Games.
Unlike most game sites, Barcelona games are used after the game, many are still often used as sports facilities, but there are also luxury luxury apartments for business and sightseeing. Olympic Village (Villa · Olimica) currently offers luxurious apartments.
Although the Montjuïc Olympic pool is still used in public places, Barcelona is very popular for holidays, business shows and conferences, not only with these facilities, but also due to the significant increase in sightseeing since 1992. In the 10 years from 1990 to 2000, tourism increased by 110%, and 105 hotels opened from 1992 to 2002.
Barcelona is currently ranked among the top four among the most visited cities in Europe. Other cities are London, Rome and Paris. People in Barcelona are proudly proud that they are said to be "models of the Olympic Games". For sustained benefits to the city they purchased. That word is sustainable. That is very important. Because the temporary results of most other cities organizing the Summer Olympic Games have soon disappeared.
It is a source of pride that not only the organization committee but also the people of Barcelona can see the benefits that this big city is still enjoying. In the words of the New York Times in August 1992, players "could never rule this summer tournament, Catalonians won the game."
