Mobility and active lifestyle in tourism


Sports tourism landscapes and environments

‘Landscape’ is a term that is commonly associated with attractive scenery. Natural landscapes and seascapes are central to the pursuit of many sports. Even sports that rely on natural elements take place in environments that are subject to varying degrees of anthropogenic change. For instance, ski slopes are subject to change through the grooming of ski trails, the construction of facilities such as ski jumps and slalom courses, snowboard half pipes and ramps, snow-making and the development of visitor services (Higham–Hinch 2018). Golf courses, which are very ‘green’ in appearance, represent highly modified natural areas and are characterized by significant ecological impacts (Kiss 2013).

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.
