The concept of diaspora offers an alternative approach to understanding sport tourism. Sport-related travel is a powerful diasporic resource that permits migrants to connect simultaneously to their nation, region, or cultural heritage and to their dispersed peers. This ethnographic study of a Caribbean-Canadian group's cricket tourism in St. Lucia, West Indies reveals that nostalgia sport tourists reminisce about their sporting heroes and regional histories, active sport tourists lime and reenact their homeland culture, and holiday sport tourists contribute to a broadly defined homeland through financial and material donations. These acts allow members of the Caribbean diaspora to rekindle their affiliation with their national and regional cultures, discover and express a sense of self as part of Caribbean histories, and foster a deterritorialized racial community.
