The more diverse the mix, the more insulated we become from economic downturns, sports disruptions, and weather incidents. 

Offering a wide variety of sports events also provides opportunities to collaborate with the Visitor & Convention Bureau and the Economic Development office.

The "other" category includes sports such as hockey, lacrosse, volleyball and gymnastics.

​The retention of sports tourism events is critical for continued economic impact. Client retention indicates customer satisfaction. Recurring events reduce the costs of recruiting new business and annual scheduling. The current retention rate is 93%.
