Journal Title: International Journal of Innovation and Research in Educational Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper provides the results of a study into the sport facilities, amenities and environmental conditions that exist in Kyrenia and Famagusta in Northern Cyprus. Questionnaires were completed by respondents to obtain their views on the potential that their city has for the development of sports tourism. It was discovered in both Kyrenia and Famagusta that improving sports facilities and amenities can generate business activities, reinvigorate sport in the community, create new jobs, increase a sense of belonging and enhance their image. The findings show that both cities are better equipped to facilitate outdoor adventure sports and festivals. Respondents explained that efforts to increase sports tourism needs to be an ongoing process. It is argued throughout the paper that each city forms a sport tourism project team that is committed to improving the overall sports tourism experience. It is anticipated that the findings of this study will augment the formation of a knowledge base that can contribute towards strengthening the tourism infrastructure of Kyrenia and Famagusta.
