Interesting new development in sports tourism here, perhaps the beginnings of a new trend? Where once football clubs and other types of sports teams were highly local in terms of their followers and influence, that has long since ceased to be the case. Especially in the higher echelons of sports, it is not uncommon for example for followers of premiership teams to fly in from abroad to attend a game and then fly back again, an offer whereby more distant followers can stay in the 'home of the team' and extend their stay seems like a strong idea.
