MSGCSC Initiatives
TOURISM
Efforts to increase tourism was established as one of the major concerns for the Mississippi Gulf Coast Sports Commission. In utilizing the Commission’s collective influence to recognize and bring quality events to the Gulf Coast for economic impact and the quality of life, a balance between best using the exisiting inventory of sporting venues here on the Gulf Coast and planning for development of future sports facilities will continue to broaden our opportunities in attracting regional and national sporting events.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The Sports Commission’s view piont of economic development is that businesses look at the quality of life as they search for new or additional locations for their business.
One of the main concerns is the quality of life in the areas under consideration. When divisions of economic development are going head to head, with other areas for these businesses, the Mississippi Gulf Coast Sports Commission sees this as an opportunity to provide support in relaying short term and long range plans for sports events to enhance the perception of the Gulf Coast as a place to do business.
QUALITY OF LIFE
Whether it is through economic development or just having the best opportunity for people of the Gulf Coast to enjoy sports, the Sports Commission will strive to provide a platform for the best quality of life to everyone.
The quality of life encompasses many areas when considering these important issues and how to accomplish them. High quality sporting events and economic impact are important but a major concern of the Sports Commission is health, fitness and opportunity for sports here on the Gulf Coast to become our focus in battling obesity, general health and having our youth continue their efforts toward learning to be future leaders in being a part of sports.
