During the FIFA World Cup’s opening week alone, more than 1.3 million spectators attended matches, with average attendance exceeding 65,000 per game. Daily attendance records were broken within the first week of competition. Hotels, restaurants, retailers and entertainment destinations faced the challenge of accommodating increased activity while maintaining the experience customers expected.
