Vancouver’s tourism and hospitality sector helped to generate millions of dollars in economic impact as the city hosted three major events over the weekend.  The two-day Coast City Country festival with headliner Luke Bryan (Saturday only) attracted over 100,000 to BC Place Stadium. Sunday afternoon’s Sun Run attracted over 45,000 while a sold out Rogers Arena hosted 18,000 Canucks fans for game one of their playoff matchup against Nashville.
