TL;DR: The negative effects that are often associated with sporting mega-events has emerged relatively belatedly in the academic literature as discussed by the authors, but little academic attention has been paid to the tourism potential of regular season domestic sport competitions, national championships and local/regional sport.

TL;DR: A definition of sport tourism based on these dimensions and featuring a sociological perspective of sporting activity is presented in this paper. And distinguishing features of sport as a tourist attraction are highlighted through the use of Leiper's systems model of attractions.

TL;DR: This book discusses the development of Sport Tourism in Times of Change, the study of sport tourism markets, and the evolutionary Trends in Sport Tourism.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the changing seasonal aspect of sport and consider the implications for the tourism industry and conclude that links between sport and tourism are becoming more clearly defined, and the hitherto vexing issue of tourism seasonality can be mitigated by tourism managers with careful consideration of changing sport seasons.

TL;DR: The Journal of Sustainable Tourism as discussed by the authors has become the leading research publication dedicated to advancing the understanding of sustainable tourism, and has become one of the most widely cited journals in the field.
