Sport Tourism
As the fastest growing segment of the tourism industry, sport tourism can provide endless opportunities for Aurora to be a destination people want to visit. Sport tourism can have a positive impact on community partnership, support businesses, attract future visitors and celebrate health and well-being.
Sport Tourism provides an opportunity for local athletes to compete in their hometown, celebrate and highlight the achievements of local athletes who are role models for future athletes.
The Town of Aurora has developed a Sport Tourism Strategy that will enhance the visitor experience, bring new events into the community, highlight hometown athletes and incorporate cultural experiences for the community and visitors.
