From the City Report; 2009 Tourism - 3.3 Million Visitors (6.5 visitors for every resident)

From the Ticat Study; 2008 Tourism - 1.6 Visitors for every resident in Hamilton (505,000 x 1.6 = 808,000)

Quite the difference! So who's juicing the number? I'm confident the City has inflated their number and the TiCats deflated their number. Funny how the two totally opposite moves provide each with benefit.

As mentioned above; Lies, Damn Lies & Statistics (though I thought it was said by Benjamin Disraeli, not Twain)
