Abstract


Tourism is a socioeconomic and environmental activity aimed at discovering new leisure destinations as well as a broad concept encompassing two aspects; mass tourism and sustainable tourism. In parallel with the growth of sport practices, in recent years, the supply and demand for tourism on the sport of nature as the main reason for travelling has increased, while taking into account the value of the geography of sport as a science of society’s space allows us to learn these sports cultures. Geosport is one of the most recent concepts in the field of tourism. it focuses mainly on the promotion of spaces, sports heritage sites and routes as a tourist attractive means through sustainability and sustainable management measures. As a result, the focus on sport tourism should be primarily on geosport as a socioeconomic driver of rural development. This article presents a correlation between scientific contributions that highlight the close link between sport tourism and heritage resources while emphasizing the broad scope of geosport. These contributions allow us to better understand how geosport has evolved over time and to identify future challenges. Also, it is part of a series of studies surveying theoretical and empirical work in the field of tourism, sport and geography.

Author Keywords: Sport tourism, geosport, sport geography, sustainable development & heritage.
