对1998年的体育旅游文献进行了回顾和批评，并提出了未来的研究议程。讨论了体育旅游定义上的差异，并概述了学者在建立标准化定义时面临的一些困难。在回答为什么体育旅游突然变得如此突出的问题时，回顾一下历史就会发现，人们从事与体育相关的旅游已经有几个世纪了。体育旅游分为三个领域：主动体育旅游，指的是为了参加体育运动而旅游的人；赛事体育旅游，指的是观看体育赛事的旅游；怀旧体育旅游，包括参观体育博物馆、著名体育场馆和体育主题游轮。这篇综述的主要结论是，该领域在政策、研究和教育领域缺乏整合。在政策一级，负责体育的机构和负责旅游的机构之间需要更好地协调。在研究一级，需要进行更多的多学科研究，特别是以体育和旅游业的现有知识基础为基础的研究。在教育领域，需要克服声称拥有旅游专长的部门和声称拥有体育专长的部门之间的领土之争。
A review and critique of the sport tourism literature as it stands in 1998 is presented, and a future research agenda suggested. Disparities in the definition of sport tourism are addressed and some of the difficulties which scholars have faced in establishing a standardised definition are outlined. In answering the question why has sport tourism suddenly become so prominent, a look back at history shows that people have engaged in sport related travel for centuries. Three domains of sport tourism are identified: active sport tourism, which refers to people who travel to take part in sport; event sport tourism, which refers to travel to watch a sports event; and nostalgia sport tourism, which includes visits to sports museums, famous sports venues, and sports themed cruises. The overarching conclusion from this review is that the field suffers from a lack of integration in the realms of policy, research, and education. At a policy level, there needs to be better coordination among agencies responsible for sport and those responsible for tourism. At a research level, more multi-disciplinary research is needed, particularly research which builds upon existing knowledge bases in both sport and tourism. In the realm of education, territorial contests between departments claiming tourism expertise and those claiming sport expertise need to be overcome.
