Abstract: Sports activities and sporting events are of major importance for the development of the tourist product of a tourist destination as well as for the wider development of this place.
This paper presents the results of empirical research through a specially designed questionnaire in the context of the doctoral dissertation entitled "The contribution of sport to sustainable regional development". Respondents' answers are compared before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. SPSS program was used for statistical analysis as well as extracting conclusions and correlations.
The purpose of the research is to study the behavior of tourists and whether they are satisfied and to what extent by the sporting services during their travels or not. Also, the purpose of the research is to investigate if sport and sports tourism contributes to sustainable tourism development and to what extent.
Questions are therefore answered as to whether there is interest in sporting activity during tourism, and if so to what extent. Also, what kind of sporting activity is the one that attracts the most tourism to an area, as well as whether tourists would be willing to pay extra money to have sports events or activities at their disposal. How motivating are sports and sporting events to visit a place? What percentage of time do sports activities take up compared to other basic activities during the tourist's trip?
The research shows that there are no significant differences in the behaviors of tourists before and after the pandemic. A personâs involvement with sports activities during tourism does not show a significant correlation with the involvement or not in his daily life. Also, sporting events and activities in general are a big part of the tourist activity as it is also found that constitutes an important element for visiting destination.
It can be safely concluded that tourism and sports are nowadays interrelated concepts that affect each other's results to a large extent, having a two-way relationship.
