In 2017, Valencia Basket inaugurated L’ Alquería del Basket, the largest basketball training facility in Europe. The project originated with the intention of being a center of talent and training in values for the development of basketball and as the main venue for the activities of all its youth teams. In addition, L’ Alquería del Basket aims to host various sporting events, especially those related to basketball.
The Ivie will measure the economic impact of the sporting events that take place in L’ Alquería del Basket. The first report analyzes the impact of the Basketball Valencia Challenge, the Final Phase of the Women’s League and the Endesa Mini Cup.
Economic impact refers to the increase in income (value added, GDP equivalent) and the employment generated in the Valencian economy as a result of the spending incurred by visitors and event organizers and is measured by using an input-output methodology, distinguishing the direct, indirect and induced impacts.
