Abstract
This paper examines the human needs that predict the preference of sports tourism in Greece; explores the tourist typology and emphasise at sport tourist roles. The sample was 269 sports tourists who visited Greece in summer. The questionnaire is based on the ìTourist Roles Preference Scaleî of Gibson and Yiannakis (2002), and was translated in Greek, German and Russian. This survey suggests promoting sports tourism especially to women and also to create and promote sports events for ages over 40, because there is a lack of participation in those groups and a lack of events that match to these ages and gender. Furthermore, this exploratory research has revealed that in the future tourist behaviour is suggested to be described by only 8 tourist roles.
