Abstract: Within regional politics in the Czech Republic, support for sport is increasingly comming to be recognized as a generator of development in tourism. Efforts to achieve dynamic growth in sports tourism in these regions is effective in helping them to deal with structural problems. For the economically weak regions the multiplier effect of sports tourism is particularly important, as it multiplies the qualitative growth of the region. Grant programmes supporting sport in connection with tourism are often an important instrument of regional policy. This paper deals with the regional development of sport as a basis for the concept of regional tourism development. Our target is to find if the regions in their programmes utilize tourism for regional development, concretely in Olomouc Region.
