What is the STS Designation?

The Sports Tourism Strategist – or STS – program is Sports ETA’s leading-edge industry designation signifying your commitment to continued learning in the sports events and tourism industry. It reflects your leadership in the industry, but also the investment you’ve made to increase your knowledge and propel your career and your organization forward.

Once you take enough certificate courses to earn 32 credits, you’ve done it! You’ll then have your Sports Tourism Strategist designation.

What is a digital badge?

A digital badge is a sharable graphic icon that indicates that an individual met specific criteria for completing a new skill, training, or professional accomplishment.

Digital badges are designed to be easily shared on social media (such as LinkedIn), resumes, association profiles, and anywhere digital content is created and shared.

Here at Sports ETA and STLI, we take great pride in the badges our members acquire. We encourage our members to be proud of their accomplishments and hope they will continue to collect digital badges and share them within the sports events and tourism industry.

I still have questions, who can I contact?

If you have any questions about this series or anything STLI has to offer, please email us at info@sportseta.org.
