  • Biddy Girls Basketball Tournament Westwego, Louisiana
    Biddy Girls Basketball Tournament Westwego, Louisiana EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The primary purpose of the study was to determine the economic significance of the Biddy Girls Basketball Tournament that was held on March 30-April 5, 2000 at The Alario Center in Westwego. The Year 2000 Biddy Basketball Tournament was comprised of 38 basketball teams, consisting of approximately 12 girls on each team. Approximately 17 teams were local; others were from Kansas, Dallas, Houston, or some as far as Puerto Rico and Finland. Surveys were conducted at The Alario Center to identify non–local visitors who were then asked to enumerate their expenditures during this event. In addition, coaches were also surveyed regarding team expenses. Hotels in the area provided information on the hotel room nights generated by the tournament. Results show a positive economic impact for Westwego and the surrounding communities generated by visitor spending on hotel rooms, admission tickets, concessions, meals, laundry, shopping, and entertainment. RESULTS Economic Significance l Total direct visitor expenditures was $279,920. l The average hotel room rate was $67.40. l The average amount paid per day for admission tickets was $15.00. l The average amount paid per day for concessions was $15.10. l The average amount paid for meals per day (outside of The Alario Center) was $39.94. l The average amount paid for local transportation was $14.10 per day. l The average amount paid for laundry each day was $.92. l The average per day spent on entertainment/recreation was $10.72. l The average per day spent on shopping was $41.08.
