This timely book critically explores the past, present, and future trends and needs of sport tourism development from a global perspective.

Sports have become a major demand generator for many countries around the world, and consequently, the growth and status of this phenomenon is a major aspect of sport tourism. The volume includes case studies from all over the world, including industrializing countries and the Global South. Sporting events and sport tourism are two fast-growing sectors of tourism, and this book provides a current view of the interconnectedness of sport and tourism from behavioral, historical, economic, management, marketing, environmental, and policy perspectives. In doing so, issues, trends, and topics such as commercial, e-sport, emotional well-being, health, and cultural aspects of sports travelers are explored in detail.

This significant and insightful volume will be of pivotal interest to academics, students, and professionals in the field of sport tourism, as well as related areas, such as development studies, psychology, sociology, and geography.
