$1.1 billion hole in Mass Participation Sports Industry
Mass participation sporting event industry highlights $1.1 billion COVID-19 hole. Australia’s leading mass participation sporting event organisers have come together to show how COVID-19 is leaving a $1.1 billion hole in the national economy.
The unprecedented restrictions put in place to fight the pandemic has meant that 8,500 mass participation sporting events have been cancelled or postponed, jeopardising the $1.1 billion that these events pump into the Australian economy each year.
More than 250 organisations involved in the industry have joined forces to create the Australian Mass Participation Sporting Event Alliance (AMPSEA) who will work with all levels of Government to support the industry to survive this crisis.
