The market is experiencing a shift toward sustainable practices and eco-friendly initiatives. With the growing environmental awareness, travelers are seeking destinations and experiences that prioritize conservation efforts, minimizing carbon footprints and promoting responsible tourism practices. For instance, in January 2024, FITUR Sports 2024 announced France 2024 as its Olympic and Sports Destination Global Partner.

The initiative highlights the country's commitment to eco-friendly practices and responsible tourism, contributing to the overall sustainability of the market.
Major sports events are increasingly becoming the key factors in the market. With the rising global popularity of events, such as the Olympics, FIFA World Cup, and major championships, destinations are leveraging these occasions to attract visitors. The allure of witnessing top-tier athletes compete on a global stage has led to a surge in travel to host cities, boosting regional tourism revenues and economic growth.
In 2023, the passive segment accounted for a market share of around 55% and will grow significantly through 2032 as travelers are increasingly opting for leisurely spectating experiences over active participation.
