Invitation to Bid - World Leisure Games

The World Leisure Organization is pleased to extend an exciting opportunity to host a unique international event.  The World Leisure Games provides an opportunity to showcase both passive and active leisure activities. This event may include an imaginative program of sport and recreation activities combined into an event that highlights your entire community and its commitment to enhancing quality of life through leisure.

The 1st World Leisure Games were staged in 2010 and involved several thousand participants from over 50 countries.  The event involved a wide range of activities including street sports, adventure and outdoor pursuits, sports indigenous to the sponsoring community, as well as, more traditional activities such as ballroom dancing. These events were coupled with other cultural activities organized in a festive atmosphere that generated interest and attracted attention from throughout the world.

The World Leisure Games can be thought of as a sport for all competition, a community festival, as a way of promoting the cultural heritage of a community or country, or as an end-destination tourist attraction that focuses attention toward the hosting community. The event is not restricted to competitive events but may include opportunities for those attending to actually participate in sports/leisure activities. The World Leisure Games provides an opportunity for you to craft a program that is unique in the selection of events to highlight your community.
