8. Revenue

Based on respondent claims and available international statistics, the estimated revenue gained from Sports Tourism in Cyprus from the sports activities included within the scope of the said research and respective data collected is estimated at 30,525,465 Euros, which is further broken down in the table below. In reality, however, the total revenue earned from Sports Tourist is certain to be considerably more if all sports activities were to be included in the revenue calculations (see section 9). It should further be noted that the revenue estimates are based on extrapolations and assumptions made due to the fact that in a number of cercumstances the respondents were not in a position to provide either complete or reliable expenditure estimates.

9. Other Sports Activities

As part of the study data collection effort, some respondents also provided information on the number of persons who visited the Island for a number of other sports activities than the ones included within the scope of this study. More specifically, these additional sports activities identified included Shooting, Karate and the Martial Arts, Tennis, Heavy Weights, Volleyball, Boxing, Ralley/Racing, Horse Racing, Beach Volley, Gymnastics, Handball, and Basketball. Considering the relatively large number of additional sports activities identified over and above the specific sports included for the said study, it is estimated that the total revenue earned from the total Sports Tourism market is considerably greater than the estimates provided from the sports activities included in this study.
