Tourism industry expects surge in hotels, restaurants thanks to Brewers

 

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The Brewers winning streak is really good for business.

Fans from out of town are spending money in Milwaukee, booking hotel rooms, and dining at local bars and restaurants.

Other attractions should get a big boost as well.

"We know that baseball fans go to the Harley-Davidson Museum, they go on brewery tours at Lakefront Brewery, they're really here to experience the city as a whole, and not just baseball, which is...we all win," said Claire Koenig with Visit Milwaukee.

Visit Milwaukee doesn't have a specific economic impact number yet.

They are hoping visitors will spread the word about Milwaukee in their home towns.
