“…This suggests that, according to the literature and the best of our knowledge, sex differences are becoming less and less signifi cant in sport tourism. Erica Wilson's researches (Khoo-Lattimore 2017; Wilson et al, 2020;Yoo & Wilson, 2020) show that in the past, the idea of a woman travelling alone was rejected and there was a repeated notion that travel was primarily a male activity.

Sports tourism is a decisive factor in geographical mobility for leisure purposes. These activities entail certain acts and consequences inherent in their execution, which are worthy of study from the perspective of sustainable and reasonable tourism. Previous studies tried to show the characteristics of this type of tourist but did not provide relevant information to offer the necessary services to provide, to understand their patterns of habits, and to be able to act correctly. This paper aims to study the profi le of the sports tourism consumer. Data provided by the National Institute of Statistics for the year 2019 was analyzed, taking a sample of 1496 people for statistical analysis. From these statistical analyses, key information on consumer profi les can be gleaned. Findings showed that people with Spanish nationality predominate, with a higher proportion of men than of women. Both sexes show that they are over 40 years of age, with higher education, mostly married, cohabitation with a partner with children at home, with permanent employment contracts and certain patterns of behavior such as the use of their private car, and staying mainly in hotels or aparthotels. Therefore, from the point of view of sustainable tourism, it is vital to draw up profi les and patterns of consumers of this tourism, to evaluate and study its ecological, environmental, and social impact, as well as taking the appropriate measures to balance the balance between sports tourism and sustainability.
