The perfect marriage of sports and travel
Are you an amateur golfer or cyclist? Keen on tennis or car racing? Passionate about hiking or mountain climbing? Are you a skilled kayaker or an expert at off-roading? No matter which sport you prefer, if you also like to travel, sports tourism will certainly be right for you.
As the name suggests, sports tourism combines the love of sport with a taste for travel. When taking a trip, you can spend part of your time enjoying a major sporting event (the Stanley Cup Final, the Tour de France, the Montreal Grand Prix, the FIFA World Cup, etc.) and watching your favourite players in action, all while discovering a new part of the world and its peoples and cultures. You’re sure to make lasting memories.
The other part of your trip can consist of visiting a destination known for breathtaking hiking trails (Switzerland or Peru), superb golf courses (Mexico and Ireland, for example) or excellent waves (the Canary Islands or Costa Rica). You can also explore unknown parts of a new country while doing the sport that you love. There are lots of companies that specialize in sports tourism (trips can last a day, a week, or longer) for athletes of all skill levels.
In short, sports tourism will allow you to visit fascinating new places and meet new people. It will also feed your passion for sport and keep you in shape during your vacation. What more could you ask for?
