Mobility and active lifestyle in tourism


Environmental impacts of sports tourism

From a geographical perspective, “the environment is the totality of tourism activity, incorporating natural elements and society’s modifications of the landscape and resources” (Mitchell–Murphy 1991:59). An understanding of the impacts of sports tourism, and management techniques appropriate to those impacts is central to the sustainable development of sport and tourism. Many sport events have fleeting or temporary impacts. Triathlons, marathons, cycle races, car rallies and festival or exhibition sports are often conducted on circuits, courses or courts that may be constructed temporarily in urban areas. The impacts of these sports, which may include a sizeable body of spectators, are rapidly dispersed at the conclusion of the event.

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.
