I am here today to present the City of Wilmington with a proposal to host the First Annual Wilmington Adult Softball Tournament
Several benefits occur when cities decide to host events. The most measurable of those are economics. Revenue is brought in to the host organization through registration fees, concessions, and merchandise sales.
Additionally, the local economy gains from the tournament as well.
For example, the city of Bully City Arizona hosted a Senior Softball Fall Tournament. The tournament hosted an estimated 1,680 people with 54 teams.
The visitors brought in an assessed $200,437
This was through lodging, shopping, entertainment, restaurants, and gas purchases from local businesses.
In order to maintain a
safe and enjoyable environment for our participants and spectators, a management plan has been put into place.
A checklist of procedures exists in order to make the event run as smoothly as possible. This checklist includes items leading up to the event as well as day of procedures.
