ABSTRACT
One of the ongoing issues in sport tourism research has been how to define and classify different types of sport tourism. The debate has generally centred on the dual concepts of passive and active involvement in sport-related travel, passive usually connoting watching sport and active referring to participating in sport [1] , Following Redmond's discussion about the growth in the popularity of sports-themed vacations such as visits to sports halls of fame and museums, fantasy camps and sports cruises, I suggested the possibility of a third form, that of nostalgia sport tourism [2] . In mainstream tourism, nostalgia has been increasingly used as a theme for destinations and marketing over the past ten years [3] , and preliminary investigations in sport tourism suggest that nostalgia may be part of the experience for tourists (see Fairley and Gammon's essay) [4] .
