English language literature on tourism perceives active sport tourism, event sport tourism and nostalgia sport tourism as three forms of sport tourism. The primary aim of active sport tourism is travelling to participate in different sport activities, ie. to be physically active. Active sport tourism is further divided into qualified, extreme, and adventure tourism. Active sport tourism can be practiced in different environments, ie. on land or water, as well as, in the air, in summer and winter, and in the form of one-day, weekend-, or multi-day trips. The paper presents the author’s definition and classification of active sport tourism and discusses its significance for the contemporary theory and practice of tourism.
