Pennsylvania State Guide to Sporting Events 2020

13 Member Destinations Make Pennsylvania a Premier Host

From Allentown to Erie, Wilkes-Barre to Zelienople, and every destination in between, no event is too big or too small for PA Sports members.

The outline for partnership between the original six members actually began in 2003 on a napkin. Those in attendance wanted to open up collaboration with one another to find the perfect fit for events. They wanted to make sure events would stay in Pennsylvania, helping to enhance the economic impact of events held in the state. The Pennsylvania Department of Tourism, as well as state and local legislators from across the state, recognized the importance of sports tourism.

For Pennsylvania, that economic impact from sports tourism has value that extends beyond the actual competition. The state is fortunate to be a 12-month vacation destination and has long been a popular travel destination. From sleek cityscapes and charming small towns to rugged woodlands and a lush countryside, there are endless options to explore. Extending tourism beyond the events is a significant part ofthe PA Sports mission. Athletes, their families, coaches, and officialsall contribute to Pennsylvania’s local and state economies.

PA Sports has 13 members and the experience to handle every event. When that experience is coupled with nearby vacation possibilities, planners have a winning combination for their event.
