Harry Styles concerts to inject over 2 billion pesos into Mexico City's economy

The upcoming series of six Harry Styles concerts in Mexico City is poised to significantly boost the capital's economy, with the National Chamber of Commerce, Services, and Tourism of Mexico City (CANACO CDMX) projecting an economic impact exceeding 2 billion pesos. Ticket sales are anticipated to be the primary driver, accounting for over 1.6 billion pesos in revenue. Beyond concert tickets, the events are expected to stimulate activity in the tourism and consumption sectors. Accommodation alone is forecast to generate nearly 300 million pesos as visitors from other Mexican states and abroad flock to the city. The gastronomic sector is also set to benefit, with an estimated economic intake of over 156 million pesos. Vicente Gutiérrez Camposeco, president of CANACO CDMX, emphasized that international-caliber concerts offer a vital opportunity to energize the city's economy, benefiting not only the organizers but also a wide array of businesses including hotels, restaurants, shops, tourism services, transportation providers, and small and medium-sized enterprises. CANACO CDMX also clarified that while OCESA, the event promoter, referenced the chamber's estimates in a previous statement, CANACO CDMX was not involved in the creation or authorization of that specific communication. The chamber stressed that its official economic projections are solely those contained within its own institutional statement.

Each international-caliber concert represents an opportunity to energize the city's economy. Not only do the show's organizers benefit; so do hotels, restaurants, shops, tourism services, transportation, mobility platforms, travel agencies, suppliers, and thousands of small and medium-sized businesses that participate directly or indirectly in serving visitors.
