"Games by the Numbers"
Preliminary numbers from the Olynpic and Paralympic Games show the average in-resort population was 51,000 during the Olympics and 26,645 during the Paralympics (did you know that Whistler's normal full-time population is just under 11,000?).
The numbers, released last week by the Resort Municipality of Whistler, also showed the resort at an average of 97% hotel occupancy during the Olympic Games from February 12 to 28. During the same period, an estimated 3.5 million viewers worldwide tuned into watch all or part of the Games on television. During the first 12 weeks of 2010, worldwide media produced an estimated 220,000 articles that mentioned Whistler, according to Tourism Whistler.
All awesome for increasing the awareness of Whistler around the world!
