Even though sports tourism is the most dynamic field of the global economic sector and even if it has had the steadiest growth for many years, the knowledge we have about it is virtually non-existent. All surveys show that this progression will remain strong in the next few years with, as in every other branch of tourism, a change in demand linked to the ups and downs of the global economy as well as to the changes in the customers themselves. Therefore, it seems necessary to study this field on an international level to compare the experiences, increase our knowledge, and establish models of development. This is primarily so that the investors and administrators can find the information they need today to make decisions based not on their estimations of how much profit they could generate in the short-term, but taking into account the sustainable development of the region in which they wish to invest. That is the reason why it is necessary to develop a structure, for example international study programmes at master level, that could carry some fundamental research on sports tourism as well as practical researches that could bring some answers to the concrete matters.
