Sport has long been considered an important factor in the tourism industry. In addition to organised mega-events, sport activities are sought by substantial number of international travellers. The World Tourism Organization (WTO) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) prepared this study on the level and characteristics of the sport activities engaged in during holidays abroad by German, Dutch and French tourists.Except in the case of French tourists, holidays more or less entailing sport activities account for more than half of the total trips.

This study also deals with many practical aspects, e.g.: length of stay, expenditure, seasonal demand, booking patterns, accommodation, and consumer profiles such as gender, age, social status, and area of residence.
