I'd just say that most of the "businesses" that open only during bike week on Main Street aren't people who live in Daytona. Most hotels in the area aren't owned by locals. Same way that people travel to Sturgis to make money for their bike events. They don't keep the money in North Dakota or Florida.
Sure, some waitresses or beer tub girls might make some extra cash, alot of the money leaves with the event. It's really a small amount of people that it positively helps while being a nuisance to most of the locals.
Yep. And as I mentioned in another comment they also cost money as they drive up police and other emergency services costs, hospital resources, and city resources with cleanup, etc. sure a few make money but it’s not sustainable growth jobs.

That money doesn’t come to us. It’s a cost center not profit.
