“…En effet, comme nous venons de le voir avec l'exemple des pagayeurs s'adonnant aux descentes touristiques de l'Ubaye, l'évasion de la ville occupe une place déterminante dans la formation d'un goût pour la nature et l'exploration de nouveaux territoires (Gammon et Robinson, 1997). Aussi, il s'avère important de revenir sur un autre contexte urbain exposant la relation qui lie des groupes de pratiquants à un cours d'eau.…”

Cet article étudie l’émergence de nouveaux territoires de développement touristique. À partir d’une comparaison entre la France et l’Afrique, amorcée en 2005, cette enquête analyse les organisations du canoë et du rafting. Le tourisme d’eau vive est une forme d’excursion destinée à découvrir la nature, depuis 1932. Même si les activités originelles sont pratiquées en rivières, ces sports se déplacent des torrents aux espaces sauvages africains. L’étude historique du tourisme sportif d’eau vive montre que les canoéistes préfèrent les sites naturels aux espaces artificiels. Les espaces touristiques d’eau vive sont situés près des grandes villes. Le canoë demeure un sport de plein air même s’il se développe en milieu urbain.

“…Spor turizmi içerisinde yer alan aktiviteler, sadece çok büyük organizasyonlarla değil, sportif ilginin rekreasyonel katılımını da bünyesinde barındırır (Gammon ve Robinson, 2003;25). Standeven ve DeKnop (1999;12) spor turizmini, "bireyin, tesadüfi veya organize bir şekilde, ticari olmayan veya ticari nedenlerle katıldığı, evden ve iş yerinden uzağa yolculuğu gerektiren, spor aktivitelerine aktif ve pasif katılımın her türü" şeklinde tanımlamıştır.…”

ÖZET ABSTRACTSport tourism is one of the most important sector in tourism industry. Service quality perceptions of sport tourists seem crucial for the growth of this sector. The purpose of this study is to develop an instrument that would serve to predict sport tourists' service quality perceptions in ski resorts. Sport tourists (n= 181) have attended this study in Uludag ski resort. Four experts participated in the

“…This has led to the categorization of sports tourism by a number of authors (e.g., Gammon & Robinson, 2003;Robinson & Gammon, 2004;Sofield, 2003;Standeven & De Knop, 1999) within a framework that makes a distinction between "sports tourism" (where sport is the primary purpose of the trip) and 40 WEED ET AL.…”

“…In the wider sports tourism literature, some authors (e.g., Gammon & Robinson, 2003) have suggested that sports tourism comprises trips where sport is dominant and trips where tourism is dominant. This has led to the categorization of sports tourism by a number of authors (e.g., Gammon & Robinson, 2003;Robinson & Gammon, 2004;Sofield, 2003;Standeven & De Knop, 1999) within a framework that makes a distinction between "sports tourism" (where sport is the primary purpose of the trip) and 40 WEED ET AL.…”

Through a systematic review and meta-analyses of worldwide evidence, this article provides estimates for spend per person per day of overnight (£43.33), non-overnight (£7.95), and all (£13.38) tourism and leisure cyclists. A further meta-analysis to inform local policy, provision, and local economic impact strategies provides evidence for seven tourism and leisure cycling market segments (Near Residents, Far Residents, Near Day Trippers, Far Day Trippers, Near Holidayers, Far Holidayers, Cycle Tourers), and their associated behaviors and spending patterns. Over three quarters of economic activity attributable to tourism and leisure cycling (77%) is shown to be derived from cycling tourism, thus representing additional local economic impact. In conclusion, the use of market segmentation to derive local economic impact estimates is discussed. The importance of considering how far cycling tourism affects trip decisions, rather than whether cycling tourism is the prime trip purpose, is highlighted in deriving robust economic impact estimates. Finally, because the Cycle Tourers market segment contributes less than 2% of market volume and value, future research might usefully focus on less dedicated but more prevalent casual recreationalist cyclists, who are interested in shorter trips, with more stops for refreshments and socializing, and who often travel in family groups.
