Business of Sports Tourism Podcast

All four of our hosts are back together for a packed episode recapping the Summer of Sports - from events and experiences, to awards and marriages, with a dose of major BREAKING NEWS in the middle.

Developments around sporting venues, big and small, are the largest trend in the industry right now. Our hosts sit down with Bart Lowen, VP of Development at PB Development, to chat about the growing trend with venues, how they support a venue, the economic impact, and how a destination can get into the game.
