Chart of the Week: Calgary airport visits during Stampede
Economists are careful (or should be careful) not to attribute spending that would have happened anyway—that is, recycling of money that would have been spent by locals reallocating their limited dollars to Stampede events instead of something else.
What they should be interested in is new money injected, and that typically comes from out-of-province and international visitors. To help us gauge the effect, we look at daily airport visits to the Calgary International Airport by international visitors. Arrivals spike in the lead up to, and during Stampede.
So do the Calgary and Alberta economies get an injection of new spending during Stampede? Yes.
