• World Cup Attendance
Estimates
• World Cup Planning
Mark presented updated
estimates of visitor attendance
and revenue per available
room (REVPAR) with a key
take -away that the World Cup's
estimate of 750,000 visitors
does not mean that number of
visitors will be in addition to
the regular visitor count. Net
increase during June and July
likely 10 - 20%.
Brandon facilitated a discussion
on plans for world cup. He
presented some example
lighting concepts and described
possible events at the mall.
The Committee discussed and
shared ideas. General
consensus to keep moving
forward.
