Police counting questioned: Samba festival exaggerated?

The Samba Festival in Coburg and the mysterious number of 200,000 visitors

The Samba Festival in Coburg attracts thousands of visitors near and far every year. But a number has been causing confusion for some time - 200,000 visitors are said to have been in Coburg that weekend. But how realistic is this information really?

The Sambaco GmbH, as organizer of the festival, has been communicating a number of visitors of 150,000 to 200,000 people for years. This number is said to be based on a counting of the police, which has been a few years ago. Thomas Apfel, spokesman for Sambaco, also confirms that the exact origin of this number is unclear.

The 200,000 visitors can still be read on the homepage of the Samba festival. However, many media now doubt the credibility of this statement and doubt whether so many people actually visit the festival.

The importance of the number of visitors for the Samba Festival

The exact number of festival goers is of great importance for the Samba Festival in Coburg. A high number of visitors has a positive effect on the image of the festival and attracts other guests. But at the same time, the credibility of this information must remain preserved in order to create trust among visitors and the media.

FAZIT

The number of 200,000 visitors on the Samba weekend in Coburg remains mysterious. While Sambaco GmbH has been communicating this information for years, there are increasingly doubts about the correctness of this number. It remains to be seen whether future festivals will provide more clarity and transparency in the number of visitors.
