Abstract

The present work has a double objective, to identify the profile of the tourist and their habits regarding sports tourism in the town of Calpe (Alicante), and, secondly, based on the information acquired, to establish the development guides for the map of local sports tourism. For this, an ad hoc questionnaire was developed, which was passed to a random sample of 381 people, thus establishing significant results with a 0.8% error for samples greater than 1000000 individuals. After finding the profile of the local tourist, we proceeded to develop an application, in its alpha phase, of the sports tourism map of the locality under study. This work is the support point on which to develop a final application that houses all the information related to sports tourism in the Valencian Community, developing a complete sports tourism map of the Autonomous Community.
