AB  - Many countries advocate sports for all to cultivate people's interest in sports. 
      In cities, cross-industry alliances between sports and tourism are one of the 
      common practices. The following two important issues need to be discussed, 
      namely, what factors should be paid attention to in the development of sports 
      tourism, and what are the mutual influential relationships among these factors. 
      This study proposes a novel two-stage multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model 
      to incorporate the concept of sustainable development into sports tourism. First, 
      the Bayesian best-worst method (Bayesian BWM) is used to screen out important 
      criteria. Bayesian BWM solves the problem of expert opinion integration of 
      conventional BWM. It is based on the statistical probability to estimate the 
      optimal group criteria weights. Secondly, the rough decision making trial and 
      evaluation laboratory (rough DEMATEL) technique is used to map out complex 
      influential relationships. The introduction of DEMATEL from the rough set theory 
      has better practicality. In the calculation program, interval types are used to 
      replace crisp values in order to retain more expert information. A city in 
      central Taiwan was used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the model. The 
      results show that the quality of urban security, government marketing, business 
      sponsorship and mass transit planning are the most important criteria. In 
      addition, in conjunction with local festivals is the most influential factor for 
      the overall evaluation system.
