SPORT AS A DESEASONALIZATION FACTOR
The role of water sports is crucial for the deseasonalization of tourist destinations respecting blue tourism. The diversity of water sports, such as surfing, sailing, kayaking, and diving, not only attracts travelers throughout the year but also contributes to local economic development as it extends the tourist season. In addition, water sports promote a connection with the oceans and raise environmental awareness. People practicing these sports often develop a deep respect for the marine environment and become active marine conservationists. By promoting the sustainability and conservation of aquatic ecosystems, water sports become an ally in the fight against the degradation of the oceans, protecting their health and beauty for present and future generations.
