Sports
Sporting events will enhance Haitian's economy, image and quality of life. Recognizing these benefits, Haiti Tourism Authority (HTA) will developed a sports marketing program designed to increase the sports presence to a globally competitive level, diversify the visitor experience, highlight the Island diversity and build a sustainable sport tourism market.
HTA will partner with the NFL Pro Bowl, MBL, MBA and the PGA Tour as well as international fishing tournaments, professional surfing competitions and world championship triathlons.
Designed to help HTA achieve its goal of growing visitor expenditures, program benefits includes:
1. Economic impact. People coming to CW to participate, attend
or operate events translates to visitor spending, which helps to
create and sustain jobs, and generate tax revenues.
2. Media Coverage. Positive media and publicity generated from
national and international TV / media coverage helps to showcase
THE ISLAND as an attractive visitor destination and a desirable
sports venue.
3. Enhancing Residents’ Quality of Life. Sporting events provide
residents with opportunities to attend or participate in additional
leisure activities which add to our quality of life. In addition,
each event requires the support of numerous volunteers. For
many people who take part in these types of events, they do so
to be able to personally contribute and to be part of something
important, Lastly, with almost every major event having a
charitable component to them, participants and organizers are
able to give back to our island communities.
Sports are Profitable
According to SGMA, the U.S. sporting goods industry
alone is $70.4 billion business (at wholesale). Its growth
rate is still greater than the 2.2% rate of growth for the
U.S. Gross Domestic Product for non-durable goods.
The Business of Sports is a multi-billion dollar global
industry propelled by enormous consumer demand. In
the U.S., it is the 14th largest grossing industry sector;
larger than the steel and railroad industries. The growth
in sports closely follows entertainment’s explosion, in
terms of their importance to our culture and economic
implications.
