GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – It may be the start of training camp for the Packers this week, but it is the real deal for the Green Bay Convention and Visitors Bureau Team.
They are rolling out the red carpet for fans from all around the world, coming to Green Bay to see the Packers up close.
“We typically expect about 90,000 fans to visit during the month of August.”
Brad Toll, Presiden, and CEO of the Greater Green Bay Convention and Visitors Bureau says that equates to about a $9 million dollar economic impact.
His team has three plays in their playbook for the next month, all focused around three “E’s”
“We like to extend the stay, expand the spend and encourage a repeat visit.
Toll says last year Green Bay saw visitors from all 50 states and 36 countries.
To help share what Green Bay has to offer, they will have tourism information available at practices and during the Shareholders meeting.
