The Toronto International Film Festival typically brings in more than $114 million in economic activity, but fewer festival attendees might mean less in profit for local businesses

that this year might be an anomaly given the ongoing Hollywood actors' strike.

"[But] TIFF does a great job of delivering an excellent festival. And I think a lot of the people that are coming here, they're cinephiles, they're coming to see the movies and that's really what their priority is."When official numbers relating to attendees and their interactions with local businesses do come out, Motton told CBC Toronto she isn't predicting a major hit.

Even if there is a drop in TIFF attendance, GTHA president Sarah Anghel said there are plenty of other city events to keep hotel occupancy rates healthy.
