The chapter shows the variety of sporting events and hints at the potential of developing these alternative activities. In order to pursue the above objective of the chapter, the various criteria for categorizing sporting events are presented first. The chapter then focuses on providing relevant examples to inform the reader about the practices and trends of sporting events that are prevalent internationally. The reality of the emergence of a variety of sporting events and activities locally and internationally is an element of interpretation of modern lifestyles. At the same time, a careful study and analysis of the varieties and types of sports, facilitates managers, and designers of sports activities and sports programs at a visitor destination is presented to identify easily opportunities for their development and exploitation.
