This volume serves to expand theory-driven understandings of active
sport tourism by showcasing five empirical studies examining a
variety of active sport tourism contexts. These include table
tennis at the World Veteran's Championships, ultramarathon,
running/cycling/triathlon, skiing/snowboarding, and a range of
issues such as active ageing and travel-related carbon footprints.
The volume also seeks to explore possibilities for future
directions in active sport tourism and act as a catalyst for
ongoing scholarly inquiry. Travelling to take part in active
sporting pursuits is growing in popularity around the world. Active
sport tourism encompasses travel to participate in a myriad sports,
as well as in competitive participatory sport events. Much of the
recent growth in active sport tourism is associated with travel to
compete in participatory sport events, notably the "big city"
international marathon events; amateur running, triathlon, and
cycling events; Masters Games; and team sport tournaments. While
the broader sport tourism research literature has tended to focus
on spectator-oriented sports events, particularly the mega events
such as the Olympic Games, it is only recently that a concerted
research agenda in active sport tourism has emerged, making this
volume innovative and relevant. This book was originally published
as a special issue of the Journal of Sport & Tourism.
