Mobility and active lifestyle in tourism


Intersecting life cycles in sport and tourism

Destination and product life cycles are dominant features of tourism (Butler 2006). Butler’s destination life cycle model epitomizes this idea with six stages: exploration, involvement, development, consolidation, stagnation and either rejuvenation or decline. In between these points, a series of mini tourism product cycles can occur in the destination. The general pattern of these cycles is one of increasing visitation until the destination’s resources are adversely affected or the attraction simply falls out of favour, at which point visitor numbers begin to decline. A variety of implications emerge from these cycles with the most important being that management interventions is needed to sustain tourism resources if the destination’s life span is to be extended (Higham–Hinch 2018).

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.
