How has science highlighted sports tourism in recent investigation on sports’ environmental sustainability? A systematic review

Understanding spectator sustainable transportation intentions in international sport tourism events

“…Market segmentation allows specific messages to be created to appeal to the group's unique characteristics resulting in more targeted and impactful communications (Trail, 2016). Spectators are an important share of the demand for sport tourism, and their segmentation has been claimed in favour of implementing environmental sustainability (Mascarenhas et al, 2021) and the effectiveness of ecological campaigns (Kl€ ockner, 2015). Thus, segmentation can focus on several characteristics to find similarities between populations, namely demographic, geographical, behavioural and psychographic features.…”

“…One extension includes encouraging environmental behaviours through the relationship of the tourist with the destination and educating tourists on environmental awareness (Bilynets & Cvelbar, 2020). Furthermore, scientific research examining the demand for sport tourism has focused on the predictive factors of environmental behaviour (Mascarenhas et al, 2021). Hence, environmental attitudes and the attitude-behaviour gap are most relevant (Juvan & Dolnicar, 2014;Martins et al, 2021).…”

“…Hence, environmental attitudes and the attitude-behaviour gap are most relevant (Juvan & Dolnicar, 2014;Martins et al, 2021). However, further inquiry is needed to improve environmental behaviours because transportation is commonly the most significant percentage of an event's carbon footprint (Mascarenhas et al, 2021;Peeters et al, 2019). Prior transportation research examining sport tourism has primarily assessed the carbon emissions of sport events resulting from participants and spectator transport choices to get to an event (Dolf & Teehan, 2015;Edwards et al, 2016;Pereira et al, 2019;Triantafyllidis et al, 2018).…”

Nevertheless, few scientific examinations have been dedicated to sport spectators' sustainable transportation behaviours at destinations (i.e., events; Mascarenhas et al, 2021;McCullough et al, 2020 ).…”

Deporte y regulación: nuevos escenarios y desafíos. Actas del XI Congreso Iberoamericano de Economía del Deporte

“…Neste enquadramento, a atual expansão da indústria do skate depara-se, no paradigma do desenvolvimento sustentável, com orientações transversais a toda a sociedade para a necessidade de desenvolver padrões sustentáveis de produção e consumo (ONU,2015). No turismo desportivo, a sustentabilidade ecológica também tem sido investigada através do estudo dos praticantes e espectadores desportivos (Mascarenhas et al, 2021). Existem estudos que focam a predisposição para pagar mais por serviços/produtos ambientalmente sustentáveis (Casey, Brown, & Schuhmann, 2010;Krugell & Saayman, 2013), sendo necessário compreender e segmentar os atores desportivos para melhor implementar o consumo ecológico.…”
