Hi Gayle
Simple math didcates the gross financial impact to the city is less than 3 million. 2 million in rooms/ 1 million in meals
Also if you divide the 20.4 million by the 45,000 it would mean $440.00 spent per delegate while in Tucson.
Tucson is a lovely city, but....JW's will not see the sights of Tucson in July nor will they hit the clubs at night. Tucson shopping and souveniers? Not likely.
Most JW's don't even have a need to fill the gas tanks as they head back north to PHX.
As a former negoiator and purchaser for the WTS, I can tell you from my experience these figures they quote are a 'gross exaggeration' probably being used to secure a better deal from the convention site.
