World Cup Boosts Crossings, Not Overall Tourism | Vancouver News
Description
World Cup games in Vancouver sparked a 21-30% spike in U.S. vehicle crossings on match days, with over 134,000 cars crossing in June and July—up 18,000 from last year. But overall U.S. travel, including flights, is down for June, with signs of continued decline into August and September. Hotel occupancy also dipped despite the game-day surge, suggesting shorter stays or insufficient tourism lift. Still, U.S. overnight visits rose 3.7% in first five months of the year, while international visitors jumped 12%—and Destination Vancouver is optimistic about global tourism picking up through fall.
