“…Sports tourism is a special type of tourism that provides tourists with an active (active participation in sports events as competitors) or passive (passive participation in sports events as spectators) experience that is different from traditional tourism. People interact with events, people and places when participating in sports tourism-related events [19]. Kim et al [20] pointed out that large-scale sports tourism activities can attract many domestic and foreign participants and spectators; these sports events can increase local income and opportunities for urban development.…”

“…First, important criteria should be fully integrated into the evaluation system to reflect the characteristics and connotation of sports tourism. The initial criteria review was based on relevant academic literature [3,8,9,18,19,24] and expert interviews (a decision group was formed, including tourism industry, Taiwan Tourism Bureau, local government and environmental protection experts). The main framework includes four dimensions, namely social (S), environmental (G), economic (E) and institutional (I).…”

Many countries advocate sports for all to cultivate people’s interest in sports. In cities, cross-industry alliances between sports and tourism are one of the common practices. The following two important issues need to be discussed, namely, what factors should be paid attention to in the development of sports tourism, and what are the mutual influential relationships among these factors. This study proposes a novel two-stage multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model to incorporate the concept of sustainable development into sports tourism. First, the Bayesian best–worst method (Bayesian BWM) is used to screen out important criteria. Bayesian BWM solves the problem of expert opinion integration of conventional BWM. It is based on the statistical probability to estimate the optimal group criteria weights. Secondly, the rough decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (rough DEMATEL) technique is used to map out complex influential relationships. The introduction of DEMATEL from the rough set theory has better practicality. In the calculation program, interval types are used to replace crisp values in order to retain more expert information. A city in central Taiwan was used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the model. The results show that the quality of urban security, government marketing, business sponsorship and mass transit planning are the most important criteria. In addition, in conjunction with local festivals is the most influential factor for the overall evaluation system.

“…Trail running is a unique experience resulting from the genuineness of the landscape and the simplicity of enjoying nature while also challenging one's mind and body. There is a market niche for trail runners who share similar preferences-the communitas [27]-and the experiences are shaped by all the stakeholders [28]. Despite trail running being practiced by many followers, it was not until 2013 that ITRA was set up, thus laying the foundations of trail running together with a series of associated values: authenticity, humility, fair play, equity, respect and solidarity.…”

Penyagolosa Trails: From Ancestral Roads to Sustainable Ultra-Trail Race, between Spirituality, Nature, and Sports. A Case of Study

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The organization of an open-air sporting event involves a series of challenges. People are drawn by the desire to do sport, preferably in close contact with nature, so as to complement healthy lifestyles, and in search of air purity. Sporting organizations are increasingly searching for new locations that do not only attract athletes, but spectators and companions too. Races in natural parks provide the additional benefit of doing sport in a unique space, usually a transmitter of simplicity, pure air, and tranquillity. Organizing a mountain race in a natural park implies some issues. These are areas of great environmental richness that must be protected. Natural parks are places of individual recreational activity. Within the running phenomenon, a new type of mountain race has appeared: the hiking-oriented pilgrimage, in which athletes travel ancestral paths, pilgrimage routes thus combining sport practice with spirituality. This paper aims to analyse all the actions and policies that were carried out for the peaceful integration and coexistence of two totally different events that coincide physically and temporally: the Penyagolosa Trails race, and the Peregrins de les Useres, an ancestral pilgrimage that is carried out by each and every one of the towns belonging to the Penyagolosa Natural Park. The objective is to demonstrate the sustainability of the project thanks to the collective effort and the goodwill of the interested parties, in a way that produces a mutual benefit.
