Question: Sport Tourism: a Framework for Research
Answer: Sport-based travel has grown dramatically over the past two decades but it has only recently become the focus of concentrated
academic inquiry. This paper contributes to the emerging body of literature by conceptualising sport in the context of tourism's activity,
spatial and temporal dimensions. A definition of sport tourism based on these dimensions and featuring a sociological perspective of
sporting activity is presented. The distinguishing features of sport as a tourist attraction are then highlighted through the use of Leiper's
systems model of attractions. Finally, the paper proposes a framework which highlights a series of research questions that emerge as the relationships between the fundamental dimensions of sport tourism are systematically explored.
