Riassunto

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.

* A unique text, covering the subject in unprecedented depth.
* Extended case study chapters provide practical illustrations of the conceptual frameworks and theories.
* Substantial areas of the book underpinned by extensive empirical data and primary research.

Recensione:

"'Sports Tourism: Participants, Policy, and Providers' is an excellent resource for the in-depth exploration of the emerging field of sports tourism. The authors succeed in their original purpose, which is to move beyond the simple origins and links of the sport tourism field into the more complex issues of stakeholder characteristics, policy, and strategy... the authors' use of international examples to support their assertions and discussions make this a book that will be valuable to people of all nationalities."
- Sarah E. Hardin, Southeast Missouri State University, USA
