Play in the Lucrative Sports Events Industry

Sports tournaments, competitions and events are a fast-growing segment of the travel industry, and a boon for communities that have the facilities and hotels to accommodate teams and competitors.

An added benefit of the sports tournaments and events is that competitors often travel with family and friends, filling restaurants, attractions and local shopping outlets when players are off the field of competition.  The economic impact to a local community, therefore, extends well beyond room nights.

One Annual “Must Buy” Resource

Sports Planning Guide & Directory is the ONLY annual print resource that helps sports groups get organized, while providing a complete platform for sports-friendly destinations and facilities to broadcast their message.
