Conclusion:
The important aspect to consider is that the benefits to Windsor are not intended to be solely for the weekend that the race is taking place. Though based on hotel occupancy rates there appear to be direct benefits in the actual race weekend, this initiative is very much a branding mechanism designed to highlight Windsor as a destination city where there are many exciting things to see and do all year round. As such, the Detroit Grand Prix, an event in the key southeastern Michigan target market of over 4 million people, provides a platform for the City to promote itself with a nationally televised event watched by over a million viewers in 2019.
