Declining or Waning

While the journal maintains a robust focus on various themes, some areas appear to be declining in prominence. This may reflect shifts in research interests or broader trends in the sports and tourism sectors.
  1. Traditional Sports Marketing:
    Research focusing on traditional sports marketing strategies has seen a decline, possibly due to the rise of digital marketing and social media strategies which are becoming more relevant in engaging fans and consumers.
  2. General Tourism Studies:
    While specific topics such as sports tourism remain strong, broader tourism studies that do not integrate sports elements are becoming less prominent, indicating a possible niche focus of the journal.
  3. Historical Analyses of Sports:
    There seems to be a waning interest in purely historical analyses of sports events and figures, as contemporary studies focusing on current trends and future implications gain more traction.
  4. Local Community Impacts of Sports Events:
    Although community engagement remains important, research specifically examining the impacts of sports events on local communities appears to be less frequent, possibly overshadowed by broader economic and social studies.
