What is Sports Tourism?
Sports tourism is travelling from one region, country, state, etc. to engage or
participate in a sports-related activity. Sports tourism combines the passion for sports
with the desire to experience new experiences or destinations.
While sports tourism has not always been extremely popular, it is definitely on the
rise. A recent report estimates the value of the global sports tourism market was
$587.87 billion in 2022. The industry is expected to grow at a rate of 17.5% through
2030. The popularity of events like the Olympic Games, the NBA, and the FIFA

development opportunities.

Committee (IOC) issued a joint statement that illustrates the strong dynamic between
sports and tourism, "Tourism and sports are interrelated and complementary. Sport as
a professional, amateur or leisure activity involves a considerable amount of

events, such as the Olympic Games, football and rugby championships and auto
racing have become powerful tourism attractions in themselves - making a very
positive contribution to the tourism image of the host destination".
