Overview
Destinations are complex and multifaceted tourism systems (Ritchie and Crouch, 2001). While the reasons why people choose to travel to a particular destination may be many or few, one of the increasingly common reasons is to participate in or experience sports in one way or another. Few forces in contemporary society generate such significant and heterogeneous travel flows as sport. What is more, sports are motivated by and therefore associated with rich and diverse visitor experiences, and contribute to the profile and uniqueness of tourism destinations. Increasingly, examples exist of tourism destinations that have been developed or rejuvenated through the pursuit of sport-related tourism development initiatives (Weed and Bull, 2004). In recent years it has been noted that the extent and volume of sport-related travel has grown exponentially (Faulkner et al., 1998). Part of the reason for this lies in the diversity of ways in which sport may influence spatial travel flows and tourism destination 2
development interests. Furthermore, sport (particularly domestic sports) offers the advantages of relatively reliable and resilient travel flows in times of crisis (Toohey et al., 2004). Sports offer a broad range of development opportunities at national, regional and local tourism destinations.
