Sports Tourism

A free short course by Sportal Corporate — not a credit-bearing university award.

1h 44m of video7 videos12 written lessons

Why people travel for sport and what it is worth — destination and event strategy, the travelling fan, economic impact, and destination marketing.

The course sets out what sports tourism is and why it matters, treats it as an academic field with its own literature, and works through planning a destination properly. An Indian lesson looks at where the market is heading domestically. It then covers why fans build entire trips around fixtures, the fan experience once they arrive at the venue, and how to measure real impact rather than the headline number.

It suits tourism boards, event organisers, hospitality and travel operators, and students on a tourism or sport management course. Seven video lessons are released one at a time, with written notes, key terms and an exercise. A ten-question quiz at 80% earns a certificate with a verifiable ID.
