The World Tourism Organization and the Government of Croatia, through its Ministry of Tourism and Sport, are organizing the 2nd World Sports Tourism Congress on 26-27 April.
This Congress represents “a unique opportunity”, says UNWTO in his website, “for experts from across the growing field of sports tourism to share new ideas and best practices”.
Held under the theme ‘Tourism & Sports United for Sustainability’, the Congress will serve as framework to deepen the study of sports tourism, “a segment with enormous potential and one of the fastest-growing trends”, says the release, “as well as to draw up insights and conclusions that may generate innovative ideas and inspire destinations”.
The Congress will address several key aspects such as sports tourism’s economic impact, its contribution to the SDGs from the environmental, social, and economic perspectives, as well as the keys to promote a destination through hosting sports events, sponsorships and bidding procedures.
The meeting will feature speakers from all over the world and from different segments of sports tourism representing a wide range of organizations at the national and international levels.
