CINCINNATI, OH  – The National Association of Sports Commissions (NASC) announced today a new educational initiative called the Sports Tourism Learning Institute (STLI).

“The Sports Tourism Learning Institute more completely represents our thinking for the new paradigm that positions the leading trade association, NASC, as the premiere education provider for the sports tourism industry in the United States,” said Al Kidd, president and CEO of the NASC. “We will offer wider and deeper content for key players, including sports destinations, sports event owners, and industry partners. Our goal is to provide a variety of educational opportunities for all our members and industry professionals.”

Courses will include: event management, a general and advanced tourism certificate, revenue and funding sources, marketing and communications, social and digital engagement, sales training for destination management organizations, event measurement tools, global event management and programs for sports events owners.

The new content will be delivered in a variety of formats including certificate programs, boot camps, live and online courses, and webinars.

The NASC will launch two courses this fall under the STLI umbrella, including a live course on social and digital engagement and an online course on effective communication in the sports tourism industry. Additional programming is being developed with an anticipated launch in early 2018.
