520			_aFrom 16 June to 4 July 1954, Switzerland hosted the fifth Football World Cup. Interestingly, between the qualifying round (group phase) and the final round of the event (elimination phase), the organisers instigated a break of one week, with the idea that these few days would allow foreign tourists present to visit the country. This article examines the concern for tourism among World Cup organisers, in particular those on the Swiss organizing committee. This preoccupation cannot be taken for granted. The question of tourism was not simply an economic one, however, and it proved to be decisive in attempts to generate support for the tournament from some local political authorities or even fringes of the population. While historians have already studied the links between sport and tourism, the consideration of the tourism component by members of an organizing committee for an international sporting event has not received much attention.
