Taylor Swift91裸聊视频檚 three-night run at BC Place, closing out the pop star91裸聊视频檚 global Eras Tour, generated daily economic impact for Vancouver that could rival the 2010 Olympics and smashed data streaming records, industry figures say.
The CEO of the B.C. Restaurant and Food Services Association, Ian Tostenson, said the shows that ended Sunday had an effect that went far beyond other concert or sporting events in the city.
Tostenson said Monday that his group estimates there was a $25 million boost for Metro Vancouver91裸聊视频檚 establishments for each of the three show days.
In comparison, a sold-out, highly anticipated Vancouver Canucks playoff game brings an estimated $3 million a day in economic impact, Tostenson said.
91裸聊视频淚n the context of comparing to anything else, it91裸聊视频檚 not even believable almost 91裸聊视频 it91裸聊视频檚 such a huge impact,91裸聊视频 Tostenson said. 91裸聊视频淚 was out a little bit on Friday and Saturday, and every place I went to was absolutely lined up and packed.91裸聊视频
Tostenson said the concerts rivalled the Olympics in drawing fans from regions far beyond what a typical playoff hockey game would, and while it is difficult to compare the 2010 Winter Games to the Taylor Swift weekend, the events were in the same magnitude in daily impact on restaurants.
91裸聊视频淭he financial impact of the Olympics was massive, (but) it was spread out over a couple weeks in different venues and stuff,91裸聊视频 he said. 91裸聊视频淪o, you didn91裸聊视频檛 sort of feel this concentration that you saw with Taylor Swift.91裸聊视频
Tostenson also said Swifties bumped up business across Metro Vancouver all weekend, with one major restaurant owner with multiple locations reporting full capacity not just at its downtown location but also in North Vancouver and Olympic Village.
He credits the festive mood brought by fans that had an emotional effect on people in general, which in turn has a major impact on restaurants, an industry built largely on discretionary spending.
People consume more when the mood is right, he said.
91裸聊视频淔rom a financial point of view, the Olympics probably had a bigger impact,91裸聊视频 Tostenson said. 91裸聊视频淏ut 91裸聊视频 I91裸聊视频檓 going to venture to estimate that this, on a daily basis compared to the Olympics, was stronger.91裸聊视频
