Behind the Scenes, but Ahead of the Pack!

The Charleston Metro Sports Council works behind the scenes to recruit, attract and retain sports events for the Charleston region.

Did you know, that in the year 2010, the Charleston region will be the 'backdrop' for over 200 sports travel competitions? Or,... that each event will need accommodations ranging from 100 to 5,000 room nights?  Or, ...that each event will utilize 10 to 50 service providers?

Our research shows that for each of these 80,000+ sports visitors, he/she will take in one hour of "sport" activity compared to another four hours of dining and entertainment. This is a 1:4 ratio, working in our favor, as new revenue dollars created from the local sports travel industry.

As a hotel, restaurant, attraction or service provider, your business can assist the Council in their efforts. It's a win-win situation --- your local Council brings new events to the area, while your business reaps the benefits of this lucrative market.

To become involved in the Council's marketing efforts, simply become a 2010-11 Marketing Partner.
