TY - THES AU - Schwendener, Martina T1 - FIS Alpine World Ski Championships St. Moritz 2017 – Volunteering T4 - How to motivate people to support the event as volunteers? DA - 2015 CY - Chur PB - Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft HTW Chur A3 - Claus, Peter AB - St. Moritz, well known destination and origin of winter tourism will be host of the 2017 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships. Back in 2003 the destination was already hosting the alpine championships taking place every second year. To guarantee a successful event, the help of volunteers is vital. Without the support of volunteers an event in such dimensions would not be feasible. Not only is the economic burden too great but also a lack of acceptance in society could occur. However, to generate sufficient number of volunteers is essential for the success of such an event. Therefore it is this assignments aim to analyse relevant literature and the current volunteer situation in St. Moritz. Furthermore, its aim is to identify success factors and provide approaches and recommendation to the volunteer organisation Voluntari Engiadina how to attract, recruit and tie sufficient number of volunteers. With the help of a survey during the Ladies FIS World Cup in January 2015 and an expert interview with a volunteer manager to corroborate its results, the actual situation in St. Moritz is analysed and compared with the recommendations from literature.
