Sports tourism: From adrenaline to authenticity

Sports tourism is no longer just about the match. It’s about "I was there" moments combined with immersive cultural journeys. From the Grand Prix in Monaco to Test matches in Cape Town, travellers are now extending their trips to include private museum tours, fine dining, desert safaris, wine tastings, and even exclusive access to cultural sites. It’s an evolution where adrenaline meets authenticity.  Netflix series like Drive to Survive and Full Swing have introduced sports to new global audiences, but what truly excites us is how these experiences are being reimagined for the luxury traveller.  A tennis trip to Melbourne? Pair it with a chef’s table and vineyard tours.  The Kentucky Derby? Follow it with bourbon trails, bluegrass music, and historic ranch stays.  Cricket in Sri Lanka? Why not explore ancient temples, tea estates, and beach retreats in between overs? Our own Emma Fountain, a sports enthusiast who’s visited over 100 stadiums worldwide, curates incredible journeys that combine premium access (think Paddock Clubs and private boxes) with bespoke cultural extensions. One highlight? Watching cricket in Dharamsala followed by a meeting with the Dalai Lama.  As Emma says: “The best sports trips are more than events, they’re immersive stories, expertly crafted.” At Ten Private Travel, we specialise in these seamless, elevated experiences. Whether you're cheering from the grandstand or sipping wine in a historic château post-match, we ensure every detail is perfect. Let’s plan your next journey where sport meets culture, and memories last a lifetime. #TenLifestyleGroup #PrivateTravel #ExperiencesXTen #LuxuryTravel #CulturalExploration #F1 #GrandSlam #CricketTours
