Famous people (artists, singers, athletes) often pay private visits to countries around the world at the invitation of their heads of state. The authors of the article propose to use the new term “sports and political tourism” to describe such trips with the aim of public support of state leaders, their political course, participa- tion in political actions and events. On the basis of contacts and meetings of the famous footballer D. Maradona with the head of the State Council of Cuba, the presidents of Venezuela, Nicaragua, Russia, Chechnya, and boxer M. Tyson with the presidents of Chechnya and other well-known Russian politicians, the features of sports and political tourism are analyzed. Based on various research methods (behaviorist, comparative, structural-functional) and tourism classifica- tions, we argue that sports and political tourism is an elite non-permanent indi- vidual international tourism of middle-aged people. It is also amateur short-term tourism with a combined purpose (sports and political). At the same time, sports and political tourism is driven by the political interests of the host country. These are trips by athletes on the occasion of certain sporting events and activities, and/ or public support for heads of state during their election campaigns, on the eve of election day. Heads of state have also engaged athletes to participate in politi- cal actions during international conferences. Thus, sports and political tourism influences the domestic and foreign policies of countries around the world. Based on the behavior and statements of sports and political tourists, the authors of the article also conducted a SWOT analysis of sports and political tourism.
