“…20 when a sports event is transformed into a tourist product, the ranking of a given event is very important because it allows an estimate of its size and through that the number of potential tourists (supporters) interested in coming to a given city. 21 In the practice of managing sports events, the situations in which organizers meet the needs and requirements of all visitors are rare. Organizers achieve the goals of a sports event in meeting the needs, demands and expectations of a precisely determined segment of the sports market.…”

Tourism has huge and growing importance for the global economy, especially for the economies of developing countries. It represents the leading economic branch in many countries which is confirmed by the revenues they generate. However, there is an increasing emphasis on tourism events and a very large number of trips for satisfaction purposes that are associated with a particular event. Tourism is gaining great importance, but the expectations of tourists are also increasing, as well as their desire for specific experiences. In this way, these events contribute to attractiveness and to drawing tourists to certain places that they perhaps would never visit otherwise. They also have an influence on extending the stay at a destination and contribute to creating a reputation of a particular place, which enriches the tourist experience. The importance of organizing sports events is reflected in the fact that they can significantly affect the tourist offer of the destination. The subject of the paper is to examine the contribution of the organization and management of a martial arts manifestation to the tourist offer of a local community. The aim of the paper is to show that domestic consumption, although small, achieved in organizing such an event represents secure income for the destination.

The purpose of the article is to systematize the concepts of fan tourism and fan tourists and an attempt has also been made to identify the profile of a fan tourist. There are certain research gaps in terms of defining the concept itself, therefore the authors have decided to investigate this. Literature analysis and criticism as well as synthesizing ideas were methods used in this work. The article presents the characteristics of fan tourism and a description of a fan tourist using psychological, social and economic criteria identified on the basis of a literature investigation. The following attributes were distinguished: the main motive of activity, emotional involvement, ‘extreme’ support, commitment to ideas, sympathy towards ideas, personal attendance at an event and the nature of a consumer or a prosumer when a fan tourist participates in an event personally. The concepts of a fan in general, fanatic and sports fan (kibic) were used in the process of identifying the characteristics of a fan tourist.
