in 1986 it was included for the first time in analysis 
The source: the analysis of the tourist travel in 1986. of the department of 
tourist research 
The data was collected by GFK – the research of the market 
This study revealed two elements that are very important for the content of sport 
activities during the sports vacation. That is why the organizer of the sports 
recreation will have to deal with two supposedly conflicting values, i.e.: 
Firstly: satisfaction, fun, social contacts, relaxation, and the feeling of freedom 
(recreation), 
Secondly: serious learning, and technique training.

Considering the fact that the average sports tourist has very little interest in 
competition, therefore the attention is on the games and on such aspects of 
sports activities and not on the achieved results (De Knop. 1990. p..186.). 
The choice of a tourist destination is more and more based on the possibility to 
practice a sport (sailing, the existence of walking paths, tennis, skiing...) 
Bartoluci and Andrijasević in the publication of the group of authors in Opatija 
(1998 p.165) give a list of recreational services: 

the rent of different sport objects (tennis, golf, sport halls, pools etc.) 

the use of sport objects and equipment (diving equipment, sailing, fitness 
equipment etc.) 

the courses for acquiring various sport skills (skiing, tennis, golf, horse-
riding, water sports) 

preparing the athletes in various sports 

tournaments and various competition 

big sport events (Mediterranean games, Universiade, European and world 
competitions etc). 

Recreational attractions (water slides etc.) 
Out of these facts we may extract the first two and the last one directly relate to 
the programs of animation in hotels but it is arguable to determine the profit 
since some of these facts are included in the offer of the hotel. Surely we don`t 
argue the economic gain of it.
