The purpose of this study was to formulate a strategy for developing sports tourism for people with physical disabilities in Bengkulu City. The method used in this research was descriptive ...qualitative. The data analysis technique used SWOT analysis. The results of data analysis show that the results of IFAS and EFAS were used to determine the position of the quadrant. Strengths and weaknesses produce the X-axis, namely X = 1.93 – 1.71 = 0.21, and the Y-axis represents opportunities – threats, namely Y = 1.04 – 2.12 = -1.08 to produce quadrant II or strategy diversification.

In recent years, the awareness of sustainable tourism has risen around the world. Many tourism industries combine sports to attract more customers to facilitate the development of the economy and the ...promotion of local culture. However, it is an important task to establish a comprehensive tourism evaluation framework for sustainable sports tourism. This study proposes a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) model to discuss the above issues, using the Bayesian Best Worst Method (Bayesian BWM) to integrate multiple experts’ judgments to generate the group optimal criteria weights. Next, the modified Visekriterijumska Optimizacija i Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) technique is combined with the concept of aspiration level to determine the performance of sports attractions and their priority ranks. In addition, this study adds a perspective of institutional sustainability to emphasize the importance of government support and local marketing. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed model is demonstrated through potential sports tourism attractions in Taiwan. A sensitivity analysis and models comparison were also performed in this study. The results show that the proposed model is feasible for practical applications and that it effectively provides some management implications to support decision-makers in formulating improvement strategies.
The aim of this study is to investigate the direct relationship
between the environment, culture, sports tourism and economy.
Additionally, in this study, we have used sports tourism as a mediating
...variable in the relationship between environment, culture,
and economy. Moreover, the moderating role of the destination
image in the proposed relationships is examined. To validate the
model, data obtained from 373 Malaysian Ministry of Tourism,
Arts, and Culture employees is incorporated into structural equation
modeling (SEM), PLS 4. According to the findings of this
study, there is a positive and significant relationship between
the environment, culture, sports tourism and the economy.
Additionally, sports tourism mediates the relationship between the
environment, culture, and a country’s economy. Interestingly, the
study also found that destination image does not moderate the
relationship between sports tourism and the economy. Overall,
these findings highlight the importance of a healthy and culturally
rich environment and the potential benefits of sports tourism for
the economy. The findings of this research have important implications
for policymakers and can be helpfully used in the tourism
industry. In practical implications, fostering a healthy environment,
preserving cultural heritage, and promoting sports tourism and
destination image can boost the country’s economy.

The review of the literature has proved that the phenomenon of sports tourism has not yet been fully described and researched, which is undoubtedly due to the short time of intensification of research and deliberations on this concept.
