Praise for the first edition:
"'Sports Tourism: Participants, Policy, and Providers' is an
excellent resource for the in-depth exploration of the emerging
field of sports tourism. The authors succeed in their original
purpose, which is to move beyond the simple origins and links of
the sport tourism field into the more complex issues of stakeholder
characteristics, policy, and strategy... the authors' use of
international examples to support their assertions and discussions
make this a book that will be valuable to people of all
nationalities."
- Sarah E. Hardin, Southeast Missouri State University, USA
"This book is an important contribution to the area of sports
tourism, responding well to the educational needs of a rapidly
growing market segment of the tousim industry. I would strongly
recommend it for any reading list on sports tourism at both
undergradaute and postgraduate level.
- Richard Shipway, Bournemouth University, UK
