This exploratory research aims to study the components in the supply chain management in sport tourism by compiling data from the 400 samples of the stakeholders, ranging from public authorities, independent organizations/associations, businesses and participants of the activities related to sport tourism management. By deploying a questionnaire as an analysis tool, together with advanced statistical analysis software and exploratory factor analysis, the researchers have found that there are five components of the supply chain management in sport tourism, which are the internal process perspective, customer perspective, sustainability perspective, learning and growth perspective and financial perspective. All the five perspectives can explain 75.77% of the total variance. Thus, these five elements, along with the eighteen influencing factors in sport tourism supply chain management, can serve as effective criteria for the meticulous selection of appropriate sport tourism cities in Thailand.
