Abstract: The outdoor sports tourism companies have difficulties to develop. Several authors have mentioned deficiencies: in particular, a lack of competences concerning the marketing and management of companies. To reconstitute leaders? career, we performed forty five biographical interviews and directive interviews in small outdoor sports tourism companies in the department of Aveyron (France). Our results reveals that to manage companies of outdoor sports tourism require an inhibition of the sport aptitudes and a diversification of the skills, allowing the leisure sports professionals to adjust themselves to the sports tourism market and to develop their companies.
