Abstract:
The sailing sports tourism is heterogenous, organizing sailing regattas can help in counteracting destination seasonality, and tourist awareness about the importance of the tourist product sustainability is increasing. Despite their natural setting, these competitions demand specific infrastructure, significant equipment, and experienced sailors to ensure successful execution. The production and use of sailing equipment involve substantial amounts of toxic substances. Considering that these events unfold in natural environments, it becomes crucial to prioritize the principles of sustainable development when organizing them. A study was conducted to address sailing competitions sustainability, analyzing sustainable practices already adopted by regatta organizers and competitive teams. It is necessary to enhance the sustainability of future sports events and raise the awareness of the importance of sustainable practices among spectators, competitors, and other participants.
