Water, Tourism and Sport. A Conceptual Approach
Journal Title: GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites - Year 2016, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
The article deals with the complex connections between water, tourism and sport, generating reciprocal conceptual and development connection. For sport and tourism, water is an important asset, since ancient times being used in either physical activities or in complex balneo plannings with curative purposes. The water-based sport-tourism activities are connected and related to surface and underground water resources, supporting this way the recreational or sport aspects (e.g. navigation, sailing, swimming, rafting), while the chemical and thermic features (of the underground waters, or the salt lakes, sea and ocean waters etc.) support the curative aspects. Water-based facilities should be incorporated spatially and functionally in the complex sustainable development processes
