The Virginia Beach Convention & Visitors Bureau was the only destination in Virginia to receive a 2014 Readers' Choice Award from SportsEvents Media Group, an industry publication focused exclusively on helping sports planners produce excellent competition in the United States and Canada.
“Our online voting system allowed us to gather thousands of nominations and votes cast by sports event planners around the country for the 2014 Reader’s Choice Awards,” SportsEvents editor Kristen McIntosh said in a statement. “These award winners have gone above and beyond to provide the quality sports infrastructure, services and commitment to today’s discerning sports event planners demand. These winners have truly set the bar high for the sports events they host.”
Virginia Beach says sports marketing is a key player in its tourism industry, which is the city's second-largest generator of revenue.
