ABSTRACT
Sports and tourism activities act together. So today, sports tourism is undoubtedly one of the most important industries characterized by ever increasing profits, almost without experiencing any shocks and repercussions of the global economic crisis. Tourist agencies, touristic facilities, and touristic places are trying in every way to animate tourists with some sports. Sport is fun for everyone. Modern hotels have pools, golf courses, playgrounds, gyms, etc., in order for tourists to do sports and to have fun. On the other side, tourist agencies organize visits to some (important) sports events for visitors to ride and to have fun. Hence, the objective of the sport is to animate the tourists. For example, the Olympic Games is a world most famous sports event where a lot of money is spent in order for visitors, who came for that event only to enjoy from all over the world, to have fun. Apparently, there is a link between sport and animation in tourism, and it is necessary to make investments in sport if we want to put more fun in tourism. Although tourism is not a sport branch, it covers many sporting activities (sports recreation, sports events, etc.). It can be concluded that tourism and sport are interrelated phenomena.
