Sports Tourism

Sports tourism refers to the segment of the travel industry that involves individuals traveling to participate in or observe sporting events. This can include a wide range of activities, such as attending professional or amateur sporting competitions, participating in sports events (like marathons or tournaments), and visiting destinations known for their sports culture or facilities. Sports tourism often encompasses both domestic and international travel, as fans may journey to various locations to support their teams, attend major events like the Olympics or the FIFA World Cup, or engage in sports-related activities in different regions known for specific sports. The phenomenon can have significant economic impacts on host destinations through spending on tickets, accommodations, food, and other related services.
