[摘要]赛事取消保险承保由于保险合同条款列明的意外事件的发生,使预定的赛事不能如期在指定地点举办或彻底取消时,导致主办方遭受损失,由保险人根据合同条款的约定进行赔偿。赛事取消分为完全取消、放弃、部分取消、推迟、中断、重新选址和缩减等七种情况。赛事取消保险在国际上具有相当高的普遍性,其中最典型的是奥运会和足球世界杯。在2000年以后,赛事取消保险开始在我国出现,但由于多数主办方资金有限、保险意识薄弱、保险公司缺乏经验和数据等原因,赛事取消保险在我国发展较慢。保险公司应着力培养既熟悉体育、又懂保险的人才,加强同体育界的交流,推动体育保险的发展。 [关键词]赛事取消保险;奥运会;足球世界杯 [中图分类号] F840.65 [文献标识码] A [文章编号]1004-3306(2007)06-0013-03 Abstract: Event cancellation insurance covers the occurrence of risks specified in the insurance contract which results in losses of the sponsor due to postponement or total cancellation of the specified event at the specified venue. Event cancellation falls into seven situations of total cancellation, abnegation, partial cancellation, postponement, discontinuity, relocation and shortening. Event cancellation insurance is very popular internationally, and the most typical is for Olympic game and football World Cup. The event cancellation insurance was introduced to China after 2000. But due to limited financial strength of the sponsors, weak insurance awareness and lack of experience and data of insurers, this insurance develops rather slow in China. Insurance companies should train people who understand both sports and insurance, increase interaction with the sports field and promote sports insurance in China.
