Description
Big concerts and events in Seattle this summer, like Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, have set the stage for record-breaking tourism dollars flowing into the city.
The Seattle Downtown Association said Taylor Swift set a single-day revenue record of $7.4 million being spent on hotels and restaurants in July. In fact, it was the third time in July a daily record was set.
August was a major month for Seattle's tourism industry as well. The Downtown Seattle Association says these big events, like national concert tours and All-Star Week, coupled with other events in downtown have provided a boost for Seattle's economy through the sheer volume of people spending money in the city.
