Description
Sports Tourism: participants, policy and providers tackles these issues from three viewpoints:
* participants: examining
the profiles, motivations and behaviour patterns of sports tourists to create a typology of participants.
* policy: analyses the response
by policy makers to this phenomenon and the problems of achieving integration between two sectors with historically different cultures.
* providers: their motivations, aims, objectives and strategies.
Audience
