Tourism stats

[SimCitizen_99 0]

Hey, im currently constructing my very first SimCity and I specialized in Gambling and thus need a lot of tourists.

 

However, I dont fully understand the meaning of the following Tourism-Stats which are displayed in the lower right corner of the screen once you are in the gambling tab:

Potential Tourists: 1300
5700/4700 Tourists:

1374/1190 low income Tourists
2118/1360 medium income Tourists
2245/2245 high income Tourists

 

What exactly does that mean?

 

The number in front of the  /  is supposed to tell me how many Tourists visited me that day I right? But what is the number behind the  /  supposed to mean?

If it displayed 4700/6000 Tourists that would make sense, since I'd have 4700 daily Tourist visits but could have 6000 because of the 1300 potentials.

Any explanation?

I wouldn't know the statistics system in this game is very broken (but that shouldn't affect you).

Just guessing here, nothing to back it up.

 

Maybe you have +200 low wealth tourists staying in hotels, and 1200 new ones came in to the city, giving you ~1400/1200.

 

As for potential tourists, I'm gonna guess its tourists who attempted to come to your city but were limited by traffic/airport/train congestion.

Not exactly sure but I will guess also. (# of actual tourists/ # of tourists that you can accommodate). So if that is true, u need to have more accommodations (hotels, etc?) for low & medium wealth.

Potential Tourists: 1300 (This is the number of people at your casino(s) at the time you checked)
5700 (Total # visting)/4700  (Maxium # allowed)Tourists: either you are having over crowding or having high turn over.

1374 (Total # visting)/1190 (Maxium # allowed) low income Tourists
2118 (Total # visting)/1360 (Maxium # allowed) medium income Tourists
2245 (Total # visting)/2245 (Maxium # allowed) high income Tourists

 

Low wealth sims aren't sensitive to the overcrowding.

Medium wealth are sensitive to overcrowding when it hits a certain point..

High wealth do not like overcrowding at all.

 

Overcrowding -  expand your casino(s) = high profit(s) from those casino(s)

High turnover -  Fix your city (normally crime and/or lack of tourist stuff) = small profit(s) and/or small loss(es)

High turnover also means visiting sims aren't staying very long, which is bad for commercial.
