Summary/Abstract: The state of sport tourism research is examined with themes, methods, and opportunities for new areas of pursuit identified. From 2000-2010 commercial impacts i.e., stadium financing, event sponsorship, economic impact dominated the sport tourism research landscape. Sustainability, environmental impacts, developing countries, nation branding, and event legacy have recently emerged as topics of investigation. One-off descriptive studies remain prevalent; qualitative studies, replication, and longitudinal studies have been noticeably absent in sport tourism research.
