Abstract—The rapid development of the sports tourism economy in China has been comprehensively discussed, including the expansion of market size, the uniqueness of consumer groups, and the role of the policy environment in promoting the development of the industry. This paper analyzes in detail the development, product innovation and marketing strategies of sports tourism resources, and emphasizes its role in enhancing the city’s brand and promoting local economic development. At the same time, the article points out the challenges faced by the industry, such as security risks, market irregularities, and lack of international competitiveness. In response to these challenges, countermeasures are proposed, including establishing a sustainable development model, strengthening industry supervision, improving service quality, and expanding international cooperation. Finally, the paper predicts the potential of combining sports tourism with the healthy China strategy, as well as its development opportunities in the global context.
