More than 13,000 people could attend the America’s Cup Village in Dockyard during a single day of competition, according to estimates.

The estimates, included in draft environmental impact studies by Bermuda Environmental Consulting Ltd, suggest that as many as 13,735 people, including cruise ship passengers, hotel guests, AC staff and residents could crowd together in Dockyard for the international event on its busiest day.

That peak is estimated to take place on June 24, at which time three cruise ships will be in port and a music event is scheduled to be held in addition to the racing.

The document states that the estimates are based on assumptions the hotels will have 90 per cent occupancy — a total of 5,900 filled rooms.

Of those rooms, as many as 3,702 will be occupied by ACEA partners, officials, media, VIPs, team members and their families.

Regarding the hotel figures, the document cites figures from AC34 in San Francisco, which was attended by 116,000 people, 36,147 of whom came from outside of the state. Of the visitors from outside of California, 32 per cent came from states on the East Coast with direct flights to Bermuda, 38 per cent of the 16,656 international visitors came from New Zealand — which is competing in this year’s event — and 9 per cent came from the UK, which is both taking part in the competition and has direct flights to the island.

On average, those who attended the San Francisco event visited the AC village on six occasions.

The documents further estimate that 25 per cent of cruise ship visitors and 5 per cent of cruise ship crew will visit the village on any given day.

A series of cruise ships is expected to visit the island during the 2017 event.

At peak, more than 10,000 cruise ship passengers are expected to be on the island at the same time.

A further 1,106 individuals are expected to attend per day from vacation rentals around the island, along with up to 4,000 Bermuda residents.

In addition to the cruise ships, the documents note yachts at Ordnance Island, the estimated arrival of the Tall Ships on June 1 and the arrival of competitors in the Marion Bermuda Race starting on June 19.

The figures also estimated that thousands of spectators will take to the water for the event, including 3,000 people on private boats and 2,500 on charter boats on peak days of racing. An America’s Cup World Series event held in October generated an estimated $8.6 million — some $6.9 million more than projected — with approximately $6.1 million generated from overseas sources.

About 1,499 visitors, including media and team members came to the island specifically for the event, causing hotels to enjoy a 43 per cent increase in revenues.
