Abstract
[Resumen] Los eventos deportivos contribuyen al desarrollo socioeconómico y se plantea como una
posibilidad de ampliar y diversificar la oferta turística del territorio, así como para promover un
destino turístico. El consumo de bienes y servicios de los turistas deportivos tiene una incidencia
directa e indirecta en la economía de las comunidades, pero su repercusión también debe ser
contemplada desde otras dimensiones. La comarca del Valle del Jerte en Cáceres presenta una
estacionalidad turística, que hace considerar a los eventos deportivos como un complemento
para intentar paliar este problema. El objeto de este estudio exploratorio es aproximarse a las
percepciones y gastos de los participantes de eventos deportivos de pequeña escala celebrados
en el territorio, y su repercusión en el turismo del territorio. Un total de 82 deportistas
participantes en cinco eventos deportivos desarrollados en la comarca completaron una encuesta
cara a cara. Los turistas deportivos activos perciben un impacto positivo de estos eventos y en
cambio perciben escasas repercusiones negativas. Además, los gastos de los deportistas indicen
en el desarrollo turístico, siendo el alojamiento y la hostelería el principal destino de su consumo.
En conclusión, la planificación y organización de este tipo de acontecimientos en la comarca puede ser planteada como una estrategia para desestacionalizar y diversificar el turismo del
territorio.
[Abstract] Sports events have a positive impact on socio-economic development and the potential to expand, diversify and promote local area tourism. The consumption of goods and services by sports tourists has a direct and indirect effect on the local economy of the area, but its impact goes further. In Valle del Jerte, in the province of Cáceres, sports event tourism could be one way to offset the problem of seasonality in the sector. The aim of this exploratory study is to examine the perceptions and spending patterns of participants in a series of small-scale sports events held in Valle del Jerte, and the impact of those events on tourism in the area. A total of 82 sportspeople participating in five sporting events held in the area completed a face-to-face survey. The results showed a positive perception by active sports tourists of the impact of these events and very little negative perception. Their spending patterns were also shown to have an effect on tourism development, with accommodation, bars and restaurants benefiting most. The study concluded that organising events of this type in local areas may be a strategy to deseasonalise and diversify local and regional tourism.
