Sports tourism has transformed into a global force. Already worth hundreds of billions, the sector is forecast to exceed £1 trillion within the next decade. While the Olympics and the FIFA World Cup remain the headline acts, travellers are increasingly planning trips around smaller tournaments, seasonal fixtures, and niche sporting events. Destinations have embraced this trend, layering in festivals, fan zones, and cultural experiences to enrich the visitor journey.

At Dovetail, travel is more than a privilege – it’s integral to the way we work. First-hand experiences sharpen the intuition, cultural fluency and curiosity that underpin every campaign.
