What is a Destination?
On Playeasy, a Destination represents a region, city, or town that attracts, supports, and hosts events and visitors.

Destinations are commonly organizations such as:
-
Convention & Visitors Bureaus (CVBs)

Sports Commissions

Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs)
-
Tourism Offices
-
Economic Development or Hospitality-focused organizations
Destinations use Playeasy to promote their community, connect with event organizers, and activate visitors through digital experiences.
