Sport and Hospitality Initiative
More information coming soon!
Objectives
To establish a comprehensive, actionable framework that enables communities to integrate wellness through sport into their local culture and infrastructure—empowering municipalities, organizations, and individuals to use sport as a vehicle for improved well-being. This initiative will also support the hospitality and spa sectors by providing them with the tools, education, and best practices needed to better serve professional and recreational athletes alike. Through cross-sector collaboration, evidence-based resources, and global outreach, the Sport and Hospitality Initiative aims to drive sustained improvements in both mental and physical health, leveraging the universal language of sport to foster connection, resilience, and holistic wellness around the world.
