Mobility and active lifestyle in tourism


Sport and active tourism

In order to understand where the tourism products of sport and active tourism fit into the tourism offerings, it is important to define the concepts of recreation, sport per se and tourism. The universally accepted, scientific description of what is meant and covered by recreation, sport or tourism has not been made in this order, but the emergence of the three concepts and the recognition of the associated activities may have been arrived at in this way. This is because the general ‘simple’ approach is to understand recreation as pleasure and relaxation, sport as movement, playing with the body and the pleasure derived from it, which covers activities that are not everyday, and tourism as a change of place for the purpose of relaxation and happiness (although this has since been extended with the introduction of the concept of business tourism, which can now include work-related travel).

Passenger transport merging different sub-sectors such as urban and road transport (e.g., coaches, automobiles, public transport), rail transport (e.g., luxury tourist trains), water transport (e.g., maritime or river cruises), and aviation (e.g., airlines, special air transport options – such as ballooning or hang gliding) is the cornerstone of tourism. The strong relationship between the fields of tourism requires an understanding of the theoretical background of tourism. In the first part of the book, the essentials of tourism, transport, and their interactions are presented. The book also focuses on innovative transport solutions (e.g., automation, shared mobility) that could transform passenger transport and tourism in the near future. In the second part, the characteristics of active tourism, one of the most emerging areas of recreational tourism are presented in detail. Based on the current trends, the conceptual framework, the supply and demand side of recreation and sport tourism are described in detail. The main trends, drivers and achievements of sports tourism are illustrated by Hungarian and international examples.
