They will be required to pay the full amount of $3,622.04 per person. However, in order to help them for the event, Destination Tennis will require payment plays leading up to the event. For example, on the December 1st, January 1st, and February 10th leading up the experience, each tourist will be required to pay at least a third of the total cost, costing roughly $1,207.34 each time. After all the individuals have paid, a total revenue of $36,220.40 will have been made (multiplying $3,622.04 by 10). The total cost for the event will be $3,122.04 per person or $31, 220.40 in total (excluding the $500 profit Destination Tennis receives from each sport tourist). The ROI also must be calculated when determining what percent Destination Tennis makes up for this event. The ROI formula sports tourism is as follow:
ROI= (Sports Tourism Revenues-Sports Tourism Total Cost) x 100 (“Sports Tourism,” 2016).
Sports Tourism Total Cost
By plugging the revenue and cost into the formula, the ROI comes out to:
ROI=(36,220.40-$31, 220.40) x 100 16.01%
$31, 220.40
Thus, approximately 16% ROI will be generated from this event for Destination

Due to FNL being a night event, less than half the tourist population stays over night, which may cause a low visitation rate to the FNL event. Both of these factors may cause a decrease in profitability, weakening the chances of meeting the goals of the FNL event. Additionally, examining students, they show price-sensitive actions which result in purchasing one ROM buck per visit. Focusing on this demographic would not be beneficial in order to meet FNL’s goals due to their lack of disposable income and willingness to spend money on ROM bucks.…

    The world’s fourth most popular sport is a sport of focus, hand-eye coordination, movement, and competition. Tennis has been around since the 12th century, causing it to be extremely ancient. Like any other sport, it has witnessed discrimination against certain groups of people. The game has drastically changed its views and people that were once prejudiced-people of color and women- are topping the charts and adjusting the barriers even more by initiating equal pay and equal rules. The decrease of race and gender discrimination has increased the quality of play, and has changed the way that tennis is structured and viewed.…

    To Pay or Not to Pay “During the 2013-2014 school year, the University of South Carolina spent $31,598 on each member of the men’s tennis team”, (Haire). Colleges spend a lot of their funds on their athletic teams, such as keeping the fields and courts well-kept, getting the athletes jerseys, and accessories such as cleats, helmets, and pads to play with. For football players, everything is paid in full for them and still college athletes want to get paid. That would be unfair to the students that are there not for athletics because they work just as hard as the athletes, they just do not play a sport. Therefore, colleges should not pay their athletes because it is inequitable and unsportsmanlike.…

There are some days on their social media pages that go without a post while some of their competitors, like Wilson tennis, post multiple times a day (Wilson Tennis). With the low volume of posts it is possible that their tweets will go completely unseen by many of their followers and will just get lost. I also think they could get more involved in community events, like hosting combines and camps for young kids to be able to come to and maybe get some tennis lessons as well getting some free Babolat merchandise.…
