Summary/Abstract: Sport and tourism individually and with each other have become important economic activities of each country. In the past, the rest and peace of tourists were primary, and today health and active, recreational holidays have taken precedence in the justification of tourist requirements and movements. There is a noticeable trend of abandoning the concept of "mass consumption" and "mass tourism" because this type of spending on products and services does not meet the needs of modern consumers. Today favors selective forms of tourism: isolated, health, sports and recreation, rural, agritourism, business and all other forms of tourism, which are a combination with nature and return to nature, and benefit from improving, preserving human health and increasing quality of life. By satisfying the needs of modern tourists, through sports and recreational facilities, the number of tourist arrivals will increase, higher employment will be achieved, entrepreneurship will be activated and higher incomes will be generated.
