Mobility and active lifestyle in tourism


Introduction

This chapter examines the dynamics of sports tourism over the long term. It opens with a discussion of tourism and sport life cycles. Next, heritage-based sport travel is considered, which represents a special type of interaction in which sport heritage and nostalgia serve as a tourist attraction. Examples include travel to visit sport halls of fame, sites of past sporting events and imagined pasts played out through fantasy sport camps and programmes. Neither the interaction between life cycles nor heritage sports tourism occurs independently of other forces operating in the broader environment.

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.
