Olympic Games Site Selection Based on EWM-TOPSIS

Abstract

Due to the high cost and lack of benefits of reporting the Olympic Games, the incentive for countries to host the Games has declined significantly in recent years, and the number of countries applying to host the Games has decreased. This paper attempts a new option for hosting the Olympic Games - a fixed venue location. In order to identify a permanent venue for the summer and winter seasons respectively, this paper selects the most suitable option from countries that have hosted either the summer or winter Olympic Games. The EWM-TOPSIS model was used to calculate the scores of each venue, and the best venue for the Summer Olympics was calculated to be London, and the best venue for permanent Winter Olympics was Lake Placid, USA.
