A part of such strategies is to build capacity in sports sector by creating environment-friendly waterside space in accordance with the Four Major Rivers Restoration Project. This specific initiative needs further and wider support because promoting environment-friendly leisure and sports activities is clearly consistent with the Government s efforts to nurture and expand the role of sports as a vehicle for low-carbon and environment-friendly growth initiatives (in the cultural sector). Against this background, this paper first reviews the basic concepts surrounding green growth strategy, sports event, and sports tourism, and then proposes a sports events promotion scheme focusing on the creation of environment-friendly waterside space in accordance with the Four Major Rivers Restoration Project. This paper also deals with issues regarding legislative support for green sports.
