Abstract: This paper explores the integration of sports tourism into curriculum design as a means of enhancing experiential learning in educational settings. Sports tourism provides students with opportunities to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world contexts, such as event management, marketing, and community engagement, while also fostering cultural understanding and personal development. The paper outlines theoretical frameworks for integrating sports tourism, discusses successful case studies, and identifies the benefits of experiential learning, including enhanced employability and personal growth. However, challenges such as limited resources and difficulties in assessment are also examined. The paper concludes by offering implications for educators and policymakers, as well as suggestions for future research on the long-term impacts of sports tourism in education and strategies for promoting inclusivity and accessibility.
