What are the top drivers to the rising demand in the sports tourism market?

The increase in the number of young players is expected to propel the growth of the sports tourism market going forward. The rise in younger players’ participation in sports is often driven by increased awareness of health benefits, more accessible sports programs, and enhanced community engagement. Young players’ participation boosts sports tourism by increasing demand for youth sports events and tournaments, driving travel for competitions and training camps. For instance, in December 2023, according to a report published by the Sports and Fitness Industry Association (SFIA), a US-based trade association, team sports participation in the United States reached 70.8 million in 2022, up from 67 million in 2020, reflecting a growth of 3.6 million participants. The increase in aggregate team sports participation was particularly notable among the 6-to-12 and 13-to-17 age groups, which both saw higher participation levels from 2021 to 2022. Therefore, the increase in the number of young players is driving the growth of the sports tourism market.
