Discover innovative sports development programs.

  The creative economy, also known as the "orange economy," is a rapidly expanding sector in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Within this economy, sports tourism has emerged as a niche area of significant potential. However, the lack of official data and the burden of bureaucratic hurdles continue to pose major challenges to the development of sports tourism businesses in the region. In the first edition of a biannual Sports Tourism Forum, we aim to explore the creative economy in the LAC, with a special focus on the French West Indies (FWI). 

  Organized by Caribbean Sport & Sustainable Development , a non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Guadeloupe, in collaboration with key stakeholders, this forum seeks to illuminate the untapped opportunities within the sports tourism sector and the high necessity to launch innovative grassroot sport programs in the dynamic of the United Nations's development goals in the Caribbean. It also emphasizes the critical need for data collection to monitor and measure the sector's growth. 

  This forum represents a collaborative effort between CSDD, local, regional, and international partners to help communities and governments understand the impact and growth potential of sports tourism. Through these discussions, we hope to address the challenges, propose strategies for overcoming them, and highlight the immense economic benefits that sports tourism can bring to the region.
