Sport Tourism Development

Sport Tourism Development, 3rd Edition, is a textbook that critically examines the relationship between sport and travel. The text integrates insights from sport management, the sociology of sport, consumer behaviour, sports marketing, geography, and tourism studies.

Structured around the geographical concepts of space, place, and environment, the volume explores markets, development processes, and the interplay between local and global forces. The 2018 edition updates discussions from earlier editions to reflect growth in sub-elite participation sports alongside spectator events, active sport, and sport heritage activities.

Intended for students and researchers across tourism studies, geography, and sport management, the book incorporates focus points and case studies to support study across varying contexts.
