Sports Tourism: participants, policy and providers 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
