Sport Experience Year Round
The basic definition of Sport Tourism is often expressed as forms of active and passive involvement in a sporting activity that takes the traveler away from home.
The community of Prince George takes Sport Tourism a great deal further in assisting your organization by providing a professional level of complimentary services that offer an unequalled experience to all those who share our passion for your chosen Sport or physical activity.
Prince George is perfectly positioned to assist your organization in hosting premier sporting events. Our facilities are exceptional, our accommodations no more than 10 minutes from any sport facility or grounds and our international airport is only 11km from the city centre. As well, Prince George sports clubs are very active, enabling a fun opportunity to create competition for visiting athletes. We are a community that thrives on sport and its development with strong media groups to assist in promoting those sports.
Prince George's real advantage, however, is its small town feel with all the amenities of a large urban centre, but without the high costs and big city commutes. An exciting blend of adventures and attractions for athletes, staff, officials, family, and spectators of all ages all compliment an outstanding level of community service.
"We showed Hockey Canada that Prince George is capable of hosting phenomenal hockey events, such as the RBC Royal Bank Cup in May. I couldn't be more happy to see the confidence that Hockey Canada has displayed in this community by bringing this significant international event to Prince George."
