All of our numbers this year moved in the right direction. We increase the overall number of teams in Branson from 304 to 340. The number of teams commuting went down, which we view as good, from 39 last year to 26 this year. Most of our teams are from outside of the area. Out of state teams increased from 168 to 189. Total athletes increased from 3218 to 3844. Total visitors increased from 5107 to 6413. Total days in Branson increase from 19,168 to 22,184. And perhaps most importantly, the number of total room nights increased from 4273 to 5165. Our over all impact on the local economy rose from 2.1 million 2.655 million, and increase of over 18%.
We are appreciative of the support we have been given by Stewart Grimm
and the Branson/Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce & Convention and Visitor Bureau.
