Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah said the move followed the success of theAsian Beach Games, whose fourth edition starts this week in Thailand with a new-look programme.
The influential Association of National Olympic Committees president said the proposal would be put to the 204-member body's general assembly in Bangkok this week.
"The Beach Games are becoming more international, more acceptable and more economic, also because with Beach Games there's not a lot of operational cost," he told reporters in the Thai capital.
"In the end if the general assembly approves the Beach Games we have a lot of interesting (things) in hand but I don't want to release them," added the Kuwaiti.
"But at least I can assure these Games will be a success and from the beginning, secure financially and technically."
The new event is yet to be named with the word "Olympic" trademarked. A title for the tournament will be announced following approval by the general assembly.
Phuket will be the first Asian Beach Games to include beach track and field, which features 60-metre sprints, shot put, long jump, high jump and cross country.
Jet-skiing, water polo, body building, Russian martial art sambo and the croquet-style woodball are also among a varied programme to be contested over 10 days in the Thai resort.
Sheikh Ahmad said several cities had expressed an interest in hosting the globalbeach games, which also has precursors in Latin America and the Mediterranean.
The biannual Asian Beach Games were started by the Olympic Council of Asia – which Sheikh Ahmad also heads – in 2008 and have taken place in Indonesia's Bali, Muscat in Oman and Haiyang in China. AFP
