A Beacon is someone who shines a light on the incredible meeting and sporting event opportunities available right here on the Thumbcoast, sharing them with colleagues, professional associations, or clubs. Think about the conferences, tournaments, or events you’ve attended—the hotel stays, dining, and travel expenses. Now multiply that by the number of attendees. Hosting those same events locally could create a powerful ripple effect in our community. By bringing events to the Thumbcoast, you:
- Highlight the beauty and convenience of our region
- Eliminate costly and time-consuming travel
- Support local businesses and boost the economy
Did you know?
The average direct spending impact estimate is $165 per person per night. That means a 2-day meeting with 100 attendees staying overnight could inject $33,000 into our local economy. Let’s showcase what makes the Thumbcoast special and keep that economic impact close to home.
