Won’t Whistler be overcrowded during the 2010 Winter Games?
Whistler was designed to host the world 365 days a year – and for many years it has been welcoming more than two million annual visitors to its community. On any given day, the resort can accommodate more than 30,000 overnight visitors, not to mention thousands of additional day visitors. The pedestrian-only village serves to ensure guests have convenient access to the entire Resort without the hassle of traffic. Plus, Whistler boasts more than 90 restaurants, bars and lounges and more than 200 retail shops. The town may have only 9,000 residents but its amenities and capacity rival that of many urban centres.
