Sports Tourism Market Share

The growth of the sports tourism industry is significantly driven by domestic sports tourism, which holds a substantial share due to the absence of visa requirements and ease of travel. Sports enthusiasts can conveniently travel to a domestic league using intra-region modes of transportation such as trains and buses, which offer affordable and comfortable journeys.

Evolving consumer behaviours, the growing spending on leisure, and the rising popularity of short weekend trips are also aiding the segment’s growth. Moreover, the increasing attempts by governments to promote domestic sports tourism, the frenzy of sports such as cricket and football, and the willingness of fans to spend on witnessing live matches are likely to aid the overall sports tourism market demand in the coming years.

Active Tourism includes engaging in sports and physical activities, offering tourists immersive experiences that enhance physical health and relaxation. This type of tourism boosts local economies by increasing spending on lodging, dining, and equipment, further driving sports tourism industry revenue.

Passive Tourism focuses on attending sports events as spectators, providing enjoyment without physical effort while enabling cultural and social interactions. It has a substantial economic impact through ticket sales, merchandise, and hospitality services, fostering job creation and long-term tourism growth. Both forms significantly contribute to the growth of the sports tourism market in distinct and meaningful ways.
