Sažetak
Sport and recreation activities in tourism form an integral part of what a destination has to offer. Given that such activities differ greatly, they should be organized and executed by fully qualified and educated staff, ensuring the quality and, more importantly, safety of the programs. One should bear in mind that sports and recreation often attract users that have had litter or no previous experience in sports and that their bodies will be unaccustomed to increased physical effort. For this reason, sports and recreation activities should be conceived, organized and implemented by educated animators. They should produce a suitable recreational program for each user. The program should be fun to use and be mindful of the users' physical abilities. Animations that implement the recreational activities should have an educational background in sports. This type of education is offered at higher education institutions, but additionally through specialized courses or seminars run by companies that target this line of work and prepare specific profiles of personnel for its needs. The role of there personnal is not only to be familiar with the current sports and recreation trends, but also be trained in activities related to communication and guest management.
