ID# 2024-2038
Executive Summary
Recommendation to approve the expenditure of Tourism Development Tax (TDT) Promotion funds to support the
upcoming 2025 Tournament Success Group events up to $18,000 and make a finding that these expenditures promote
tourism.
OBJECTIVE: To support the hosting costs for the 2025 Tournament Success Group events at the Paradise Coast Sports
Complex in Naples, FL.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Tournament Success Group (TSG) is an agency that focuses on coordinating youth sports
tournaments. With over 30 years of experience, TSG works with the Sports Complex Management company to deliver
professionally managed and well executed events to Collier County. This organization began hosting events in the
destination in 2021. Notably, TSG has generated over 5,000 room nights since 2022 and now brings five high-impact
soccer tournaments to Paradise Coast Sports Complex annually: Paradise Cup, Weston Cup & Showcase, South Florida
Soccer Cup & Showcase, River Plate Cup, and the Alliance Cup. Below are details about the individual events,
including summaries and economic impact figures.TSG has requested $60,475 in funding to assist with facility rentals
and operating costs. Staff recommends funding up to $18,000 for the 2025 events.
This support will help offset costs associated with venue rentals and other logistics, ensuring the continued success of
the event(s). In addition to the TDT revenue, each individual event is expected to drive direct revenue to the complex
through facility rentals and team fees, ranging from $12,500 for new events (i.e., Paradise Cup and River Plate) and up
to $50,000 collected for larger events (i.e., Weston Cup, Alliance Cup, and South Florida Cup). Each event is also
projected to generate additional ancillary revenue from sources such as food, beverage, and retail, further enhancing the
direct revenue and positive impact on the destination.
When evaluating the total estimated TDT revenue of $259,840 against the $18,000 acquisition costs, along with the fees
paid to Paradise Coast Sports Complex and the potential for ancillary revenue, it becomes evident that the events
provide a strong return on the County’s investment. The Event Impact Calculator by Destinations International, used by
over 300 destination organizations, estimates direct spending from each event.

Staff utilizes the Board-approved Athletic Event & Tournament Application to evaluate whether the organization
qualifies for funding. In making this determination, several key factors are considered, including the seasonality of the
event, its potential for future iterations, projected economic impact through direct spending and bed tax revenue, and the
level of marketing value. Additionally, staff assesses whether the event aligns with local interests, such as collaboration
with Collier County-based leagues or athletic groups, and whether it is expected to generate significant room nights
(minimum of 250).
The allocation of sport sponsorship dollars serves as a tool in attracting, retaining, and cultivating partnerships with

event organizers, contributing to the sustained growth and success of the destination's sports tourism sector. Financial
incentives help offset the costs associated with organizing large-scale events, such as venue rentals, logistics, and
marketing expenses, positioning Collier County as a premier location within this highly competitive sector. By investing
in the growth of sports events, the CVB attracts participants, spectators, and media attention that enhances the overall
economic impact and visibility of a destination.
Sports Tourism events, supported in part by Tourist Development Tax (TDT) funds, are used to promote future
overnight visitation to the destination. The objective is to secure events that have a history of attracting overnight
visitors who utilize hotels and lodging in Collier County over multiple days, throughout the duration of an event.

item (7-0) at the Nov. 19, 2024 meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding up to $18,000 for this event is available within the FY 2025 Tourism budget allocation for
sports event support through the TDC Promotion fund (1101). The approved total funding for FY 2025 sports grants is
$75,000. The available remaining funding is $68,500.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for approval. –

To whom it may concern,
Great Wolf Lodge South Florida located at 3900 City Gate Blvd. N. Naples, FL 34117 has
partnered with Tournament Success Group and Legacy Sports Travel, as an official host for their
series of youth soccer events starting in the Fall of 2024, through the Spring of 2025, at the
Paradise Coast Sports Complex. We have completed one successful event, with four more
scheduled over the next eight months, all of which are forecasting significant future business.
Tournament Success Group and Legacy Sports Travel have proven to be valuable partners to our
resort, and their event attendees have been welcome guests, whom we anticipate becoming
repeat customers.
I have personally worked with Tournament Success Group and Legacy Sports Travel for the past
four years in other local hotels and I have nothing but positive comments to report about the
organization and their entire team.
We anticipate continued success on the upcoming events for the remainder of the season, and
hope to see the events grow in size and frequency in Collier County.

To whom it may concern,
The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón has been a partner ofTournament Success Group and Legacy Sports
Travel, and their series of youth soccer events taking place at the Paradise Coast Sports Complex, for
almost three years. We have had a very positive experience thus far with the TSG and LST teams, as well
as with the guests that attend their events, and we have several more scheduled to take place over the
next 12 months.
The benefits to our resort have been reflected in increased revenue during the dates of each event.
Additionally, the increased exposure for the resort has resulted in repeat stays from guests attending the
events that otherwise may not have vacationed in the area.
We appreciate the professional approach and attentive care that goes into the events and we support
the growth of these events in Collier County.
Warm Regards,
Laura Ryan

Dear Collier County CVB,
I am writing today in response to a reference for Tournament Success Group
and Legacy Sports Travel, on behalf of William Fisher and Vinny Agostino. We
have worked with both for multiple years and would highly recommend
them to any organization or property.
I have personally been at my property for over a year and prior to that my
Regional Manager held my current position for over three years and will also
be more than happy to speak highly of them as well.
If there is anything additional that I may provide to facilitate in this manner,
please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
Sincerely,
Clint Eakes
General Manager
