Sažetak
Tourist spending and consumption seen as a totality of a large number of various tourism-related services is connected with travel motives, facilities and attractions used by the tourists. The aim of this paper is to establish on the ground of various travel patterns how much money is being spent by tourists on beverages and other catering services offered and consumed in catering establishments which make the component part of the overall supply of sport centres and related facilities. Only a relatively small number of visitors regard tennis and supporting facilities and services as a big draw that might induce them to come to a particular destination. Accordingly, this research paper is aiming to assess the volume and the pattern of spending characteristics of this segment of visitors and the structure of the respective consumption. Particular emphasis is put on the structure of the demand and on visitors’ motivation for the consumption of beverages including other catering services closely connected with sport facilities and related areas. The research model comprises the sport centres in tourist destinations of the Republic of Croatia. The sample used for research purposes were the sport centres offering a full range of sport services including the supporting catering services and facilities. The focus was on tourist spending patterns connected with sport facilities and related services.
