More than a few newsies have talked about the sketchy counting methodology over the past few weeks & months but this quick quote provides the best overview we've seen . . . Check-it:
Kansas City will host six matches and serve as home base for four national teams. Boosters say the World Cup could spur $653 million in spending in the regional economy.
The 650,000 visitors estimate comes from a projection of 2.1 million total “visitor days” over the course of the event.
A “visitor day” represents one person who spends a day and a night in the city, including repeats. So a person who spends two days and nights would count as two visitor days. Visit KC used materials from FIFA, data from past large-scale sporting events and Kansas City-specific travel data to create the figure.
