What Are The Key Driving Factors For The Growth Of The Rugby Fan Travel Market?
The rise in sports tourism is anticipated to fuel the growth of the rugby fan travel sector in the forthcoming years. Defined as the phenomenon of traveling primarily to attend, participate or witness sports events and associated activities, sports tourism is on the upswing. It gains momentum as major global tournaments lure fans who traverse international boundaries and often prolong their visits for leisure and cultural experiences. The rugby fan travel industry bolsters sports tourism by providing comprehensive plans encompassing transportation, lodging, event passes and native experiences. This amalgamation boosts both ease of travel and involvement for the fans on the move. For example, in May 2024, as reported by World Rugby, an Ireland based international rugby federation, the Rugby World Cup 2023 drew in 425,000 overseas guests. These visitors stayed for an average of ten days and spent €1.8 billion (USD 1.95 billion) cumulatively. This eventually created a net financial gain of €871 million (USD 945 million) for France. Consequently, the rising interest in sports tourism is contributing to the expansion of the rugby fan travel market.
