The Huddle Up Group and iTIP started a partnership in 2022 to provide all members with a free All-Access membership to the Sports Tourism Index + Scout platform. Cole McKeel of HUG will demonstrate the platform and share the benefits you can receive by promoting your destination’s sporting venues.
The Sports Tourism Index and Scout functionality use data to lean on each other in order to provide a digital match-making environment for event owners and host destinations to connect with one another. Scout empowers destinations and event organizers a two-way “match-making” platform driven by data and technology. Scout gives your organization access to the searchable facility and event database with numerous filters including, but not limited to, event date, facility type, and desired geographic region. Organizations can identify precise matches that fit their needs and assets increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the event hosting process.
