It may have increased the velocity of money, but it did not boost the economy. The economy had the same amount of money moving around when she was done, just different people had it.
You didn’t bother to read what I wrote. When a large tour comes to town for days and rents hotel rooms and eats at restaurants that BRINGS money. When people travel from out of the area to see a show, probably also staying in hotels that BRINGS money.
Basically it’s tourism. Just like any other out of country visitor. Only in this case it’s 3 or 4 bus fulls of visitors, all staying at the top hotels. AND (depending on the estimates) 20 to 30% of their audience.
Yes it VERY MUCH DOES boost the economy.
