Sports tourism is something that’s fast catching on among not just local fitness buffs or sports fans, but holidaymakers who are looking for something different in their travels.
The trend encompasses travelling to destinations where certain sports are usually associated with (like England for football, or New Zealand for rugby), or places where major sporting events like the Olympics and World Cup are being held. There are also those who travel to take part in sports events, and this is something that’s becoming increasingly popular among Malaysians.
