A Florida city is hosting a motorcycle rally this week that city officials expect will draw in more than 300,000 people over 10 days, according to a city official. Typically in the past, (attendance) was estimated between 400,000 and 500,000 for the 10 days over this entire area, Janet Kersey, a Daytona Chamber of Commerce executive, told Insider in a statement. This year we know because of continued COVID-19 concerns and the loss of income many have had over this past year, it will be less. A reasonable estimate would be around 300,000+, Kersey added.
