ｽｹｱﾒ開催地のﾜｼﾝﾄﾝでは、街総出で国際試合の開催ではりきってるというか、テレ朝などの
外国メディアがお金落とすこと期待してるよ。特にホテル産業も。
マリナーズの始球式もその一環なんだろうね。
The exposure Skate America will bring Snohomish County is a tourism promoter’s dream.
NBC and TV Asahi of Japan will televise the event, bringing shots of downtown Everett
and other jewels of Snohomish County into living rooms around the world.
Skating officials, foreign dignitaries and international journalists will
spread the word about their experience here.
Snohomish County wisely invested $100,000 in local hotel/motel taxes into promoting the event.
Twenty-three local hotels ? from Arlington south to Lynnwood and Edmonds,
from Marysville and Mukilteo east to Monroe ? are part of a reservation system
that is booking rooms for Skate America fans. Ticket sales have been brisk,
said event organizer Steve Baker of Production Sports in Mountlake Terrace, but good seats remain.
