Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to have a further understanding of the issue and challenges of visitors in attending the small-scale sport event (SSSE). Although visitors are interested in mega-events, several SSSE is also organized, as SSSE can be a part of the tourism products. Understanding the issues and challenges will enhance SSSE to become one of the popular attractions for local tourism products. The issues that are being faced by the event organizers are insufficient facilities, the age limit of the participant, safety, the event quality, and the suitability of the location. This understanding will enhance the image of the small-scale sports events. Consequently, the organizer of small-scale sports events should better design the events and ensure that it will become an attraction for the enrichment of the local tourism products.
