In Catalonia and around Europe, there is a growing number of people who spend their free time doing sport, for leisure or for competition, with more or less intensity in their activities, with the intention of improving in different aspects (learning a new sport, improving technically, physically, psychologically, in their diet, etc.).

In such a definition of tourism many types of athlete are included: from high level professional athletes, who find the best environmental conditions to train in their modality in the Catalan counties, to individual athletes or amateur teams sharing a goal in practising their favourite sport. This is a completely different and new kind of tourism from what we have been considering outdoor tourism, where the predominance is the recreational, leisure aspect and not necessarily the sporty one.
