Wausau will not become a tourism destination and tourism helps drive the economy.

Also, many people "discover" Wausau when they come for a sports event and then will come back for other leisure travel.

Every dollar spent in the Greater Wausau area rolls around several times. It only makes sense to continue to utilize the proven expertise and fiscal stewardship of the CWVB to market the Greater Wausau area. If we do not replace the visitors/particip[ants from the Badger Games with new programs/attendees, the Room Tax funds will only continue to decline

The Wausau Kayak & Canoe Corporation regularly hosts national and international competitive events on the Wisconsin River near downtown Wausau. Even the Rib Mountain Park Road has been a training course for the US Cycling Federation.

Yes, sports and athletic competition is important to the Wausau Area even without the Badger State Games.

Under this proposal, additional sporting tournaments will be brought to the area. It will save and create jobs, and increase tax revenue and generate the greatest economic impact possible, not just for the City of Wausau but for the entire metro area.

For every $1 put in by Wausau, the other communities put in $1.50. Where else are we going to get a deal like that? We need to invest in new ideas that generate new visitor spending. If we don't, there will be less room tax to go around next year. How bad does it have to get before we make the tough but right decision?
