Abstract: Concentration
of regional industry within a region can play a key role in promoting regional
economic development. Thanks to its rich sport resources, Henan’s sports
industry cluster has the features needed to develop this part of the provincial
economy. In particular, further development of the sports industry
structure in Henan can help rationalize its industrial structure and make it a
more integral element of urban development. In constructing the sport
industry cluster, special efforts should be devoted to building functional
zones for R&D, production of sports and fitness equipment, sports
services, and other supporting facilities. In addition, unique local
natural resources of the province and impact of large-scale activities should
be fully exploited.
