Mobility and active lifestyle in tourism


Summary

This chapter provided a short overview of sport-related tourism development from the perspective of geographical resources of sports tourism destinations. The concepts of landscape and environment were explained. This was followed by ways landscape became a resource base for sports tourism and what kind of impacts need to be managed. The examples and best practices focused on mountain sports tourism such as trekking and skiing. Sports tourism environments and resources form an important part of the foundation upon which sports tourism development is built. Landscape and climate are key determinants of the attractiveness of tourist destinations. They also have considerable influence on the sport and recreational activities that tourists associate with a destination, thereby influencing destination image. The relationship between sport and environment is a dynamic one. Understanding this relationship is critical to harnessing trends that offer the opportunity for, or pose a threat to, sustainable sport and tourism development.

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.
