Exploring the Potential of Sports Tourism in Lombok: A Systematic Review of Related Literature
Keywords:
Marine Tourism, lombok, Prisma, Sistematic Literature ReviewAbstract
Sports tourism has become a significant segment of the global tourism industry. This study aims to identify the potential, opportunities, and challenges of sports tourism development in Lombok through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach based on PRISMA guidelines. The analysis was conducted on scientific publications from 2013–2025 that discuss various forms of sports tourism, including international events (MotoGP, WSBK, Tour de Lombok Mandalika), adventure sports (surfing, diving, Mount Rinjani trekking), as well as community-based initiatives and the implementation of smart tourism. The results of the literature synthesis indicate that Lombok has multidimensional potential supported by natural attractions, strategic infrastructure such as the Mandalika Special Economic Zone (SEZ) and the international airport, and opportunities to strengthen its global image as a world-class sports tourism destination. Development opportunities include product diversification and market segmentation, increasing economic impacts for local communities, cross-sector synergies, and international destination branding. However, challenges faced include limited facilities in buffer zones, low capacity and involvement of local communities, suboptimal quality of event management, risks to environmental sustainability, and weak coordination between stakeholders. This research offers a conceptual contribution in the form of the first literature map integrating all dimensions of sports tourism in Lombok, as well as evidence-based strategic recommendations for sustainable development, human resource capacity building, and inclusive destination management. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for policymakers, academics, and industry players in strengthening Lombok's global competitiveness as a sustainable sports tourism destination.
