timers.
• In 2008 people had several reasons to come and the people did not present
a single group, but many different interests.
• Average age grew in the year 2011 more than before.
• The growing amount of female visitors dropped in 2011.
• The year 2011 included mostly old visitors who came to see their friends.
• Social media was the most efficient marketing channel in the year 2011.
