Sport Tours Booths

Sport tourism is a prevalent and growing phenomenon (Standevan and De Knop, 1999) that has become more prominent since the turn of the twenty first century; more prominent as an academic field of study and as a popular product (Gibson, 1998). As a concept sport tourism is seen to have more recent origins than the key concepts, sport and tourism, which it is the result of (Ritchie and Adair, 2004). It is the inextricable link between sport and tourism, that now within the modern globalisation, new and exciting possibilities are opening up to enrich touristic experiences through sport, while also enhancing sport development through tourism (Standevan and De Knop, 1999). Sport has been recognised to involve travel for participation or for sport spectatorship (Delpy, 1998) and it is the thought by researchers that this is an insight into the definition of sport tourism. It has been defined as the involvement of travel to a predetermined sport activity for the reasons of either participation in or attendance within the sporting activity and those who visit destinations for the primary reason of participating or viewing sport are considered sports tourists (Turco, Riley and Swart, 2002). In the past few decades sport and tourism professionals have come to realise that there is a significant potential within sport tourism and as such they have started to pursue this niche market (Hudson, 2003). Kurtzman (2000) suggests that there are six main categories of Sport Tourism: (1) Sport tourism attractions, an example being Waterworld in Stoke-on-Trent. (2) Sport tourism resorts such as in La Manga. (3) Cruises for the purpose of sport tourism. (4) Tours, which includes cricket tours by nations or other teams. (5) Events sport tourism, which is arguably the most researched aspect of the sport tourism field (Ritchie and Adair, 2004) example would be the FIFA World Cup or The Olympics (6) Adventure sport tourism, examples would be skiing or snowboarding holidays, hiking or kayaking etc.
