Sports tourism is one of the fastest growing segments now

Tuesday, August 2, 2022

Chinese people might not be acquainted much with sports tourism. However, today it is one of the fastest developing segments of tourism. A growing number of people are expressing their curiosity in sports events during their trips, even if sports are not the key reason of their travel. Marathons, hiking, cycling and camping occupy significant places in the territory of sports tourism.

Sports tourism is something that involves taking part or viewing sports events and residing in a setting that’s quite dissimilar from the normal tourist hotels or resorts. The foundation of sports tourism is linked to early Greece, where people traveled to Olympia to see or participate in Olympic races. Contemporary sports tourism, conversely, surfaced in the 1990s.

However, sports tourism is still a developing area, and is yet to grab enough responsiveness in China. There is also a dearth of exploration to measure its real possibilities. Due to the fact that the Chinese experts give a lot of importance to people’s health, sports tourism, by several means, can meet the demands of people for both relaxation and physical action.

The accomplishment of the Beijing Winter Olympics in encouraging winter sports has led to an intense growth in the plea of sports tourism and the steady and stable amalgamation of sports and tourism.

Sports tourism is one of the speediest developing areas of the tourism industry nowadays, with a yearly growth rate of around 15 percent internationally.
