  • "<P><EM>Sports Tourism: participants, policy and providers</EM> is an unparalleled text that explains sports tourism as a social, economic and cultural phenomenon that stems from the unique interaction of activity, people and place. Unlike other texts, it seeks to present sports tourism as a unique area that produces its own unique issues, concerns and controversies. Illustrated by international case studies in each chapter, and with four extended case study chapters, this book examines this area using real life experiences and concrete evidence.</P>"
  • ""Sports Tourism: Participants, Policy and Providers" tackles these issues from three viewpoints: participants: examining the profiles, motivations and behaviour patterns of sports tourists to create a typology of participants. Policy: analyses the response by policy makers to this phenomenon and the problems of achieving integration between two sectors with historically different cultures. Providers: their motivations, aims, objectives and strategies. This is a unique text, covering the subject in unprecedented depth. Extended case study chapters provide practical illustrations of the conceptual frameworks and theories. A substantial area of the book is underpinned by extensive empirical data and primary research."
