SPORTING EVENT EXPERIENCE REFLECTION ASSIGNMENT
As we explore the sport tourism industry through our textbook, readings and videos, it is also
important to study in the field via experiential learning.
Assignment:
1. Please be sure you read this document in its entirety so you understand the
expectations.
2. Research potential sporting events that will be happening during the course dates. This
seems like a short window of time, but remember from Chapter 1, there are countless
types of sports so it is up to you to find one that you are interested in and find out how
to attend. **This is not a volunteer experience; you are simply attending a sports
tourism event as a spectator.
3. So how would you find out about these sporting events? Contact your local Convention
and Visitors Bureau (many have calendars of events on their websites), Sports Council or
Commissions, contact local sports leagues, high schools, ice rinks, equestrian
associations, running/Spartan races, venues that host tournaments, etc.
4. The expectation is not to spend a lot of money to attend an event. This does not have to
be a professional event that requires high–ticket prices, parking fees, etc. There are
plenty of free sporting events out there especially at the youth and recreational level.
5. If you are struggling to find a sports tourism event, please contact me right away as time
is an important element of this assignment.
For the sport tourism event that you choose, you are to focus your attention on the following
elements:
The header of paper should include:
o Your name
o Submission date
o Name of the event and link to the website (if the specific event does not have a website,
use the league’s website)
o Date and time of the event
o Amount of time that you spent at the event
Type of Sports Tourism Event
o A bit of background on the nature of the sport.
o A bit of background on the nature of the event (frequency, how do participants qualify,
what are they competing for)?
Demographics
o Describe the active or participatory sports tourists and the event–based.
o Who else did you observe at the event. Be very specific as you list all types of people
who
were at the event and relate attendees to one of the models offered in Chapter 1.
o Poll 10 adults at the event and report on the commonalities including the type of visitor
that they appear to be (Chapter 1 – Resident, visitor, tourist, same–day visitor), the
distance traveled to attend/participate in the event and the amount of time they plan

on staying. (Be sure to tell your interviewees that this is for a class assignment and will

Take–Aways

listed above.
