With the rapid development of tourism, minority sports tourism has become an important part of China's tourism industry. However, the development of minority sports tourism still faces many constraints, such as imperfect infrastructure, lack of public awareness, lack of funds and lack of professional talents. The purpose of this paper is to explore the restrictive factors and practical paths for the economic development of China's ethnic minority sports tourism, including measures to strengthen infrastructure construction, improve public awareness, introduce external investment, cultivate professional talents, and protect the cultural heritage of ethnic minorities, so as to promote the sustainable development of China's ethnic minority sports tourism.
