Niche sport tourism and ESG are the prominent sport tourism trends gaining prominence in the market.

Niche Sport Tourism:

It has been observed that a significant number of tourists are engaging in niche sports as a key or supplementary factor for their travel decisions. The popularity of pickleball in the US experienced a significant increase in 2022, with 36.55 million individuals participating in the sport.

The tourism industry experienced a significant surge of 600% in the year 2022 when compared to the previous year. Moreover, the hosting of significant NFL events in certain European countries has created a positive impact on the sport’s popularity in the region, leading to an increase in domestic tourism for these events.

Additionally, it is possible that this could also lead to an increase in international tourism to the US, as European sports enthusiasts may become fans of the sport and subsequently travel to the US to attend a game.

The governance in sport event organizations has come under intense scrutiny. The demand for social and environmental sustainability is changing the way sports events are run.

The growing demand for sustainable experiences, services, and products among consumers and sports tourists has compelled event organizers and other companies in the sport tourism supply chain to exhibit their commitment to minimizing their social and environmental footprint.

It is imperative for sport event organizers, competition regulators, and sport tourism companies to integrate sustainability into their operations and experiences. Failure to do so may result in negative public perception, leading to boycotts and tourists opting for alternative companies that prioritize sustainability.

Sports ETA releases its “State of the Industry” Report  for the $91.8 Billion Sport Tourism Industry

FORT WORTH, TEXAS (May 3, 2022) – Sports ETA, the only trade association for the sports events and tourism industry, released its annual State of the Industry Report for 2021 resulting in the sports tourism sector’s direct spending impact of $39.7 billion which generated a total economic impact of $91.8 billion, supporting 635,000 full-time and part-time jobs and generating $12.9 billion in taxes.

The association’s last research report, “2019 State of the Sports Tourism Industry Report in America presented by the Sports Events and Tourism Association in partnership with the Northstar Meetings Group” was released in 2020 to benchmark 2019, and concluded that U.S. sports-related travelers, event organizers and venues spent a total of $45.1 billion in 2019, an increase of over five percent from the previous year. Those travelers generated $103.3 billion in direct, indirect and induced business sales.

The study was led by Dr. Jennifer Stoll, who leads research efforts for Sports ETA, in partnership with Northstar Meetings Group, the leading multi-platform brand for dedicated meeting and business planners and sports event organizers, and the presenting sponsor of the association’s “Annual State of the Industry” research report.

The analysis draws on the following data sources to quantify sports tourism, which includes adult and youth amateur events and collegiate tournaments (The economic impact analyses conducted within the report exclude professional sports and collegiate regular-season games.):

• Sports ETA: destination membership survey data
• Longwoods International: traveler survey data, including spending and visitor profile characteristics for sports tourism nationwide
• Bureau of Economic Analysis and Bureau of Labor Statistics: employment and wage data, by industry
• Bureau of Transportation Statistics: U.S. domestic average itinerary fares
• U.S. Travel Association: domestic travel data
• STR: lodging data
• Sports attendance data

“Our annual State of the Industry report shows that the sport tourism industry has an economic impact of $91.8 Billion supporting 635,000 jobs in our member communities across America,” said Al Kidd , President & CEO of Sports ETA.

Additional major findings in the 2021 State of the Industry Report include:

• In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic cancelled or delayed sports events across the country and those events that took place had fewer spectators per participant. Ultimately, the number of sports travelers decreased 46.5% year-over-year to 96 million in 2020. The sector rebounded quickly in 2021 increasing 82.0% year-over-year. The 175 million sports travelers in 2021 was only 2.6% lower than the high-water mark established in 2019.
• Sports travelers, event organizers, and venues spent $9.7 billion on transportation, $8.4 billion on lodging, and $7.5 billion on food and beverages. Recreation, retail, and tournament operations rounded out spending, registering $5.3 billion, $5.0 billion, and $3.7 billion, respectively. The lodging sector accounted for 21% of all sports-related travel spending. In 2021, sports-related travel generated 66.5 million room nights, which is an important factor given that hotel taxes are a primary funding source for many entities.

Playing 3D Chess: Sports Tourism Trends for 2023

The best organizations will be raising the bar and following a smart plan in the upcoming year

As we noted last year in this column, sports tourism now has a better seat at the collective tourism table than ever before. Destinations are dedicating more time and resources to the sports market than at any time in my 26 years serving this industry.

For our eighth edition of the Sports Planning Guide trends article, our team at Huddle Up Group looked back at the past year to craft and share the trends to look for in 2023 and beyond. Without further ado, we offer you the top 10 trends we are closely following as we move into the new year.

Noted above, destination marketing organizations (DMOs) and convention and visitor bureaus (CVBs) across the country are investing more resources in sports tourism today than ever before. This comes in the form of an increased sports marketing effort and often times in facility development. The pandemic proved to us what we have been saying all along – sports tourism is immune from economic downturns, international conflicts, and yes, pandemics.

2.Bricks and Mortar

Nearly every project our team touched this past year had a facility element to it. What venues is that destination missing? Which of their existing facilities can be enhanced to become tournament friendly? If we built XYZ what would the economic output likely be? Ten years ago, very few tourism agencies were investing in bricks and mortar. Today, nearly every one we work with is getting in the weeds with their community leaders to help develop new facilities and/or enhance their existing venues.

Following up on No. 2 above, how do we fund facility development and enhancement? Tourism Improvement Districts (or TIDs) are definitely the most popular route to take today. Nearly every community we work with is pushing forward some form of state and locally enabling legislation to put a TID in place to fund sports tourism marketing and facility development. Having a sustainable funding mechanism like this can serve a community well in the near and long-term.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (or DEI) has become a front line topic for CVBs and event rights holders alike. Several event owners have rebranded to give notice that they are intentionally addressing DEI issues. Destination International has also provided some excellent best practices in this area for CVBs through their DEI Committee’s work. As a country, we have a long way to go here. We are glad to see the tourism community at large taking an active role in how we interact with one another to make our nation a more equitable place.

5.Pickleball

The fastest growing sport in America is taking over. Pickleball has grown into a national force from the tournament level all the way down to recreational leagues across the country. Pickleball has become an “overnight success” starting in a driveway in Washington State in 1967, with the first official organization for the sport being formed in 1972. One thing our team talks about when looking at the rise of pickleball over the past decade is this – what new sport will emerge next? Slamball? Maybe teqball? How about KUUB? (Note: if you have not heard of these sports, they are all cool, Google them). More sport options mean more potential participants which mean more tournaments to potentially host. If destinations can partner with these sports as they grow, there is a greater possibility to establish a stronghold within these sports (and their events) in the future.

6.Regionality

Even prior to the pandemic, there was a growing trend of “national championship” events becoming more drive market than cross country flights. That is, the teams were more and more coming from a day’s drive to a tournament than getting on a plane to travel long distances. The pandemic only accelerated that trend. This is important to consider when you are working to create your own events (a trend from the past few years in this writing), as you will want to focus on clubs and teams from within a day’s drive versus trying to recruit teams from greater distances.

7.Special Events

More tourism organizations are adding the marketing and management of special events to the sports department’s plate. The ability to execute a sporting event isn’t that much different than producing a music festival. Putting on the “backpacks” (as we like to call it) for special events is becoming quite common for those with an experienced sports staff on the team.

8.Bigger, Better, Stronger, Faster

One of the most common calls we got this past year from destinations was this, “We had to furlough all our people during the pandemic, but sports kept rolling. So, we need to build our sports program back up to a place where it is even bigger and better than it was before.” This is another form of doubling down on the great performance sports tourism offered the industry over the past two-plus years.

These last two are carryovers from last year that are still quite relevant today….

9.Accountability

As we start to rebound back to 2019 levels, in many cases, resources are still more limited than in prior years. Given that we have to try to do more with less, the microscope is now on every transaction that is made. Every dollar has to have a good result and those that are tasked with governing our organizations are paying a lot more attention to how money is spent. Transparent organizations have a process for why decisions are made on resource allocations and document every move along the way.

10.Silent Sports

Several outdoor sports have seen massive spikes in participation the past few years. Golf, canoe/kayak, and fishing (among others) all offer opportunities for those destinations that seek them. These “silent sports” have become a cornerstone for business development with many CVBs across the country. We would also recommend that for those destinations that have great water and trail assets, that you look at how to optimize some of your sports tourism marketing to the leisure travelers in these sports.

The underlying theme of these trends really boils down to intentionality. Every move your organization makes should be intentional and follow a plan that the entire team thinks will lead to success. We like to say the best organizations out there are playing three dimensional chess while the average ones are playing checkers.

Be intentional. Play 3D chess. Raise the bar in the coming year for you and your organization.

Good luck to all in 2023.

Sports Tourism at a Glance

• Sports tourism: pure beach vacations were yesterday
• Sports tourism: Spain as an example
• Sports tourism: Home is back in vogue
• Sports tourism: Megatrends as a key driver
• Sustainability, individualization and digitization as keys to success

Health and an active lifestyle are in vogue - and not just since the end of the

COVID 19 pandemic. One beneficiary: sports tourism, which continues to grow strongly. The global sports tourism market is estimated at USD 587.87 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach a growth rate of 17.5% by 2030. Europe is the largest sports tourism market in the world, accounting for 38.01% of revenue. The range of activities on offer includes everything from sports events and training camps to active vacations.

Sports Tourism: Pure Beach Vacations Were Yesterday

Sports tourists love to be active outdoors and celebrate many different outdoor activities. According to the yearbook of sports statistics, they are divided into three segments:

• Active vacationers* whose main motivation is to participate in sports. These include hobby sports such as golf, sailing, surfing and other outdoor sports, as well as higher-intensity sports such as cycling or climbing.
• Event tourists who attend sporting events and activities.
• Recreational athletes who want to practice sports activities during their beach vacation, for example.

Sports Tourism: Example Spain

In 2021, Spain received a total of 4.8 million sports tourists, of which

• 64% of them actively practiced sports themselves and
• 36% attended events.

The revenues of the Spanish vacation regions from sports tourism came to

• 57% from active tourists and
• 43% from event tourists.

Although almost 80% of travelers came from Spain itself, the approximately 20% of foreign tourists* contributed to half of the revenue - which shows how important they are in qualitative terms. This was different before the pandemic: in 2019, 33% of international sports travelers provided 68% of total sports tourism revenue in Spain. In addition, event visitors* accounted for about two-thirds. So, while sporting events were the main driver of the sector before the pandemic, there was - at least in the short term - a trend towards domestic active vacationers. It remains to be seen whether this will be confirmed once the pandemic is over.

Sports Tourism: Home Is Back in Vogue

However, considering the general trends in the tourism industry such as increasing environmental awareness and flight shame, which are now important aspects for many travelers when planning their trips, the trend toward sports vacations in one's own country could endure due to climate friendliness.

Another trend is that more and more people are integrating sports and physical activities into their daily lives. For example, 4 out of 5 Europeans in the Outdoor Consumer Report 2021 by Deloitte and OutDoor by ISPO, four out of five Europeans said they had engaged in an outdoor activity in the past year. But what does this mean for organizers and brands? One thing is for sure: The increasing importance of sustainability, sports, and physical activity in daily life has a direct influence on vacation design and thus holds opportunities for the sports industry.

Sports Tourism: Megatrends as a Key Driver

What will sports tourism look like in the future and what factors will influence it? To answer these questions, leading industry experts discussed at a keypanel at the international tourism trade show FITUR. Christoph Rapp from ISPO Munich, José Pablo Vázquez from Visit Valencia and Agustí Pérez from the Ironman Group emphasized the increasing importance of sustainability, digitalization and individualism. But how can companies benefit from these megatrends?

1. Sustainability

Like many other areas of sport, environmental change is also shaping sports tourism. Consumers demand sustainable solutions from companies and are willing to pay more for them. However, there is still a lot of room for improvement when it comes to environmental protection, especially at sporting events. It is not enough to ban plastic cups. Rather, there is a need for deeper awareness and change on a large scale. Agustí Pérez, Senior Regional Director South of the Ironman Group, called for increased collaboration with administrations and more sustainable processes, saying, "Both at the institutional and organizational level, despite a pandemic that has slowed down the rhythm of decision-making, we need to make all processes around the staging of events sustainable. From laws, to collaboration with administrations, to the demands of the athletes themselves. This is the only way to create truly sustainable experiences."

2. Digitization

Digitization has also taken hold of sports tourism. More and more travelers are using online platforms and apps to plan and book their trips individually. Vacationers are increasingly using electronic devices such as smartphones and smartwatches for outdoor activities. According to the Outdoor Consumer Report, more than half of those surveyed use apps to track their activities and collect important performance data. The goal of operators and sports brands should therefore be to create a seamless digital experience for travelers.

• Digital lifesavers: apps and tools for safe tour planning

3. Individualism

Individual experiences have become increasingly important in tourism. The trend is away from mass tourism and toward holistic experiences tailored to the individual needs and interests of travelers. Here, sports such as ski touring or trail running offer ideal opportunities for nature activities away from the mainstream.

Christoph Rapp, International Sales & Retail Manager at ISPO Munich, emphasizes that creating such experiences not only satisfies customers* but also holds huge potential for revenue. It is clear that destinations, especially in the Alpine regions, need to adapt and expand their infrastructure to respond to this trend and meet the demand for individual experiences - without losing sight of sustainability.

• These megatrends determined the future of the sports industry

Sustainability, Individualization and Digitization as Keys to Success

Although the COVID-19 pandemic has put a damper on the sports and tourism industry, the potential of sports tourism remains high. Especially due to the increasing interest of consumers in health and active lifestyles, operators and brands should proactively leverage the trends in sports tourism by finding innovative solutions that take into account sustainability , individualization and digitalization at the same time.

unwto tourism highlights 2022

Un tourism | bringing the world closer.

Unwto 2021: a year in review, 2021: tourism united, resilient and determined.

2021 has been a year of learning and adapting for tourism. It has proven that only by working together can the sector overcome challenges and embrace opportunities.

Gathering the global tourism community and developing concrete actions, UNWTO has led tourism’s response with the vision of not only restarting, but doing so in a more inclusive, innovative and sustainable way.

January - March

As global tourism faced up to a second year of unprecedented crisis , UNWTO began 2021 by counting the cost so far . At the same time, however, the emergence of vaccines brought hope . The Global Tourism Crisis Committee met to explore what this meant for safe travel and the restart of tourism, while the announcement of the winners of the UNWTO Global Start-up Competition recognized the role culture and creativity will play in tourism’s restart and recovery .  

April - June

Collaboration and innovation were the focusat the start of the second quarter. UNWTO partnered with IATA on a new Destination Tracker to give both tourists and destinations clear, impartial and trusted advice. And a new Start-up Competition was launched to find the best ideas for accelerating rural development through tourism. In May, the launch of the Best Tourism Villages by UNWTO generated significant interest from Members in every global region. 

July - September

As destinations in Europe welcomed tourists back for the peak summer season, UNWTO highlighted the role of  digital solutions for the safe restart of the sector. But UNWTO also looked ahead, to a more sustainable future , working with key partners to  reduce plastic waste and consumption across every part of the sector. Together, we celebrated World Tourism Day around the theme of Tourism for Inclusive Growth, a message of solidarity and determination that was echoed on a global scale.

October - December

The final quarter of 2021 began with cautious optimism as UNWTO’s Barometer showed signs of improvement in tourist arrival numbers during the summer season in the northern hemisphere. A new partnership with Netflix will bring the message of tourism as a driver of opportunity to a massive global audience, while in November, UNWTO was tourism’s voice at COP26 and signatories to the landmark Glasgow Declaration keep growing. Finally, against the backdrop of the UNWTO General Assembly , the programme of work for the coming biennium was approved and 77% of Members voted to secure a second mandate for the Secretary-General from 2022-2025.

Growing and Moving Forward

UNWTO brings together political leaders from across the globe to deliver a strong, coordinated response. Governments, destinations, fellow UN agencies and international organizations met at key international events joining efforts to rethink tourism. Institutional coordination has proven crucial to find the solutions that build a smarter, greener and safer tourism.

Leaving Nobody Behind

The pledge to ‘ leave nobody behind ’ means nobody should miss out : Not now as we support the sector in the face of crisis, and not in the future as tourism starts again. Tourism is a proven driver of equality and opportunity. And that’s why we turn words into actions, delivering guidelines and action plans , to ensure everyone can enjoy the opportunities tourism brings.

A Shared Vision

Advancing the transformation of the tourism sector , partnerships are the only way forward. In 2021, UNWTO signed agreements with international organizations and the private sector to step our vision for the future of tourism: innovation , education , sustainability , green investment , rural development.

World Tourism Barometer: September 2022

UNWTO updates World Tourism Barometer and reports international tourism back to 60% of pre-pandemic levels from January to July 2022

Below are excerpts from the September 2022 release of the UNWTO Tourism Barometer :

• The steady recovery reflects strong pent-up demand for international travel, especially in the months of June and July which are part of the Northern Hemisphere summer season. The easing or lifting of travel restrictions in an increasing number of countries also contributed to boost results.
• International tourist arrivals almost tripled (+172%) in January-July 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Numbers climbed from -64% in January 2022 (versus 2019) to -28% in July, the strongest month since the start of the pandemic.
• Asia and the Pacific (+165%) saw arrivals more than double in the first seven months of 2022, though they remained 86% below 2019 levels.
• The ongoing recovery can also be seen in outbound tourism spending from major source markets. Expenditure from France was at -12% in January-July 2022 compared to 2019 while spending from Germany stood at -14%. International tourism spending remained at -10% in Belgium, -23% in Italy and -26% in the United States.
• The uncertain economic environment seems to have reversed prospects for a return to pre-pandemic levels in the near term. 61% of UNWTO Panel of Experts now see a potential return of international arrivals to 2019 levels in 2024 or later while those indicating a return to pre-pandemic levels in 2023 has diminished (27%) compared to the May survey (48%).

TOURISM TRENDS 2022

11 Aug TOURISM TRENDS 2022

The situation for tourism remains rather unusual as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The crisis has marked a significant change for everyone, and above all for tourism, one of sectors hit hardest by the virus. 2020 was the year in which international tourism came to a near-complete standstill, and the only alternatives were domestic and local tourism.

2021 has seen some improvements, but only in a very subtle way as restrictions are still in place and many countries keep their borders fully or partially closed.

It is difficult to make an estimate for 2022 as it is not known how the pandemic will evolve. However, it is possible to talk about the new tourism trends that are likely to emerge over the coming year: – International travel with restrictions still maintained by both destinations and airlines in order to offer 100% security to the consumer.

– Reinforcement of COVID-19 testing; two years after the pandemic, COVID testing will still be in place as a preventive measure. – Conscious travel will be advocated. Travel to more distant destinations, but with prolonged durations of stay, as consumers look to enjoy as much of each place they visit as possible. – Green travel. Climate change is a problem that is present and growing. Consumers now are much more responsible and aware of the reality they live in on daily basis.

– A new trend is the “ed-ventures”. It is about combining education and holidays for the youngest members of the family. While adults may need to telework or attend meetings, their children can be doing workshops and learning in a playful way.
