and De Knop (1998). A series of frameworks
are presented in their publications that high-
light the interdependent relationship between
sports and tourism, beginning with the basic
premise that not only does sport in¯uence
tourism but that tourism in¯uences sport.
They then build on this starting point with a
classi®cation matrix based on key touristic and
sport characteristics. The major contribution of
this classi®cation system is that sport tourism
is recognised as offering `a two-dimensional
experience of physical activity tied to a
particular setting' (Standeven and De Knop,
1999, p. 63). Furthermore, each of these
dimensions is articulated in terms of its key
components, thereby allowing a more in-depth
analysis of the concept of sport tourism than
has been generally been the case to date. A
limitation of their typology is that it tends to
treat each sport as a homogeneous entity even
though many internal variations may exist
within a sport. Faulkner et al. (1998) avoid this
limitation by classifying sports tourism in
terms of motivational, behavioural and com-
petitive dimensions. Each of these dimensions
is presented as a continuum and individual
sports are illustrated as ®tting into a range
rather than being represented as a single point
on each continuum.
These attempts to articulate the relation-
ships between the unique characteristics of
tourism and the unique characteristics of sport
are the key to scholarly advances in this ®eld.
By clarifying these relationships, more probing
research questions can be asked and the
®ndings of individual studies can be placed
within the broader contexts of the ®eld as a
whole. In doing so, the potential synergies of
the ®eld are more likely to be captured.
