We Don't Just Visit.
We Invest in Your City.
Elite Travel Sports events bring thousands of athletes, families, and coaches to your destination — generating measurable, verified economic impact for hotels, restaurants, retailers, and the broader community.
The Numbers Behind Every Event
Where Families Spend in Your Destination
ETS families are high-value sports tourists. They stay longer, spend more, and explore more of your destination than typical event visitors. Here's where the dollars flow.
High-Value Sports Tourists Who Stay, Explore & Spend
ETS events attract dedicated sports families — parents and athletes who plan their travel around competition weekends and treat the trip as a full destination experience. These aren't day-trippers. They book hotels, eat at local restaurants, visit attractions, and come back.
With 348+ teams and 6,042+ athletes competing across our event calendar, every ETS event brings a concentrated wave of engaged, spending visitors to your destination.
What You Get as an Official Host Destination
Official destination partners receive a full suite of benefits designed to maximize your return — from guaranteed room nights to co-branded marketing exposure reaching tens of thousands of sports families.
What Destination Partners Are Saying
Hosting an Elite Travel Sports event was one of the best decisions our CVB made this year. The families were engaged, the spending was real, and the operations team made it seamless for our destination.
We saw over $1.2M in direct visitor spending from a single ETS weekend event. The room block was filled, restaurants were packed, and the community loved having the energy in town.
ETS is the kind of partner every sports tourism office wants — professional, organized, and genuinely committed to making the destination look good. We've already signed on for two more events.
