Mobility and active lifestyle in tourism


Conceptual definitions of sport and active tourism

Although sport, tourism and sports tourism have been a focus of research since the second half of the 20th century, sports tourism is a very distant phenomenon, despite the fact that modern sport dates from the very end of the 19th century with the emergence of the modern Olympics and the advent of athletics and sports clubs. Recreation dates back to antiquity, especially in the case of the ‘living-wise’ Romans, but there are also traces of the Greeks’ love of life and recreation. As the examples show, the art of sport can also be traced back to ancient traditions, which, once institutionalised, began to induce changes of place linked to non-ordinary activities, i.e., tourism.

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.
