Aspects of Tourismis an innovative, multifaceted series which will comprise
authoritative reference handbooks on global tourism regions, research volumes, texts
and monographs. It is designed to provide readers with the latest thinking on tourism
world-wide and in so doing will push back the frontiers of tourism knowledge. The
series will also introduce a new generation of international tourism authors, writing
on leading edge topics. The volumes will be readable and user- friendly, providing
accessible sources for further research. The list will be underpinned by an annual
authoritative tourism research volume. Books in the series will be commissioned that
probe the relationship between tourism and cognate subject areas such as strategy,
development, retailing, sport and environmental studies. The publisher and series
editors welcome proposals from writers with projects on these topics.

3111 Despite the growth of attention devoted to sport tourism from reseachers,
4 policy makers and providers, more research and study is required in this
5 field. Daryl and I firmly believe that an interdisciplinary perspective is a
6 key to enhance our understanding of this varied topic area. We believe
7 that a better understanding of sport tourism can occur if inter or multi-
8 disciplinary research occurs or if researchers apply or adapt theories,
9 concepts or models from different disciplines to examine the interrela-
20111 tionships, impacts, and issues associated with sport tourism. This is
1 illustrated by the variety of contributors to this book. Some are from the
2 disciplines of anthropology, history, leisure studies, sport management
3 and tourism management. Several of the authors apply concepts from
4 other disciplines within their various chapters. We also believe that this
5 kind of research can better equip university graduates who work in the
6 sport tourism field, as well as providing more insights into complex prob-
7 lems like the development of sport tourism policy, planning and
8 leveraging strategies. It is hoped that this book, in some small way,
9 contributes to the development and increasing maturity of the field of
30111 sport tourism by promoting an interdisciplinary perspective to the under-
1 standing of sport tourism. It is particularly important that students,
2 industry and government are aware of the impacts and issues associated
3 with the development of sport tourism segments and consider some of
4 the ways to more effectively plan and manage sport tourism for the
5 benefit of the sport and tourism industry and local communities. We hope
6 that this book has made some small contribution to understanding some
7 of these impacts, issues and debates.
8 We would like to acknowledge the support and assistance of various
9 individuals and organisations who have helped turn the idea of this
40 book into reality. First, we would like to thank the book series editors,
41111 Chris Cooper, C. Michael Hall and Dallen Timothy, for providing the
ix

1111 opportunity to write this book and for their constructive comments on
2 the manuscript. Thanks should also go to the Tourism Program and the
3 Centre for Sports Studies at the University of Canberra and the CRC for
4 Sustainable Tourism who supported the hosting of the ‘Sport-Generated
5 Tourism’ symposium in October 2000.
6 Brent and Daryl would also like to thank a number of people for their
7 support and encouragement in completing the book. Thanks go to staff
8 or former staff at the University of Canberra including Trevor Mules,
9 Josette Wells, Niki Macionis, Brock Cambourne and Helen Ayres.
1011 University of Brighton colleagues and staff such as Paul Frost, Steven
1 Goss-Turner, Nigel Jarvis, Graham Shephard, Peter Burns, Cathy Palmer,
2 Thrine Hely, Jo-anne Lester, Harvey Ells and Chris Dutton have also been
3111 very supportive and encouraging.
4 A big thank you also goes out to all of the individual contributors who
5 have written chapters from all parts of the globe. Thank you for your
6 patience! We should also acknowledge the support of the publishing team
7 at Channel View for their assistance and hospitality throughout this
