Mobility and active lifestyle in tourism

Sports tourism infrastructure and facilities

Tourism infrastructure is all the facilities that make an attraction discoverable, marketable, and valuable. This is how attractions become part of sports tourism. Of course, there are cases where the tourist infrastructure itself is the attraction (stadiums of significance, even if they are functionless, former Olympic villages, tragic sites – the Formula 1 circuit in Imola). Infrastructure can also be complemented by additional services in the case of sports tourism, such as guided tours, accident management (ambulance services are compulsory at most sporting events), ear protection against noise, awareness-raising. Basically, the categorisation mentioned in the previous section is also valid here, in that sports tourism infrastructure can be natural, man-made or human created sites and facilities based on the natural environment. These sites or facilities are not only intended to sell the sports tourism product today, but also have other complementary services in response to the poles of attraction categories (seasonality) and to channel other tourism products (professional tourism – a stadium as a conference venue).

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.
