  • Dr Richard Buning - The Positive Economic Impact of Mountain Biking Tourism on Individual and the Broader Community
    2022/12/14

    This episode of our ‘Flow Seekers’ podcast is with Dr Richard (Rick) Buning PhD. Rick is a senior lecturer in Tourism and Event Management based at The University of Queensland. 

    Dr. Buning's research interests reside at the intersection of physical activity, travel, and events. Within this area, his research agenda is focused on how tourists are physically active as both a driver of tourism behaviour (i.e., active lifestyle sports) and during visitation (i.e., active transport). His research on active lifestyle sports closely mirrors his passion for active sport tourism in mountain biking, cycling, running, rock climbing, hiking, and more.  

    In reference to mountain biking, I first attended one of Rick’s presentations on the economic impact of the mountain biking sector at an event hosted by the University of Tasmania. From there we have continued to work with Rick on a number of different projects, including a research project which demonstrates how we create flow state in our business (more on this soon!). 

    Listen to this podcast to: 

    • Learn about the economic impact mountain biking can have on communities 
    • Learn about the maturity of the mountain biking market in AUS 
    • Hear Dr Buning’s perspective on whether the mountain biking market will keep growing 
    • Learn about the lifecycle of mountain bikers 
    • Hear about the importance of mentors in your mountain biking journey

    • Learn about clutch state and mountain biking
