Intro – Georgia

Georgia pairs world-class sports infrastructure with genuine Southern hospitality. Home to iconic competitions, championship-caliber venues, and vibrant communities, the Peach State has a long track record of delivering memorable experiences for athletes, organizers, and spectators alike. “What really sets Georgia apart is the unmatched hospitality and partnership that exists in every corner of our state,” says Jay Markwalter, deputy commissioner of tourism for the Georgia Department of Economic Development. “Our destinations work hand in hand with event organizers to deliver successful events, while our welcoming communities, vibrant downtowns, and unique attractions offer visitors plenty to enjoy beyond the competition. We want every athlete, coach, and spectator to leave with a positive and memorable experience – and a reason to come back.”
