Entrepreneurs from Mexico City expect income of 2.8 billion pesos (about 155 million dollars) the following Friday for the concert of the singer Rosalía and the first game in the country of the American baseball league.
According to the estimate of the business center of the Mexican capital of the Employers’ Confederation of the Mexican Republic (Coparmex), These economic benefits will serve to further boost the reactivation of tourism, shops and services.
This Friday the free concert of the Spanish singer Rosalía will take place in the Plaza de la Constitución, known as the Zócalo, the most important public square in the country and where the National Palace, residence of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, is located.
This concert by the interpreter of “Motomami”, “Con altura” or “Beso” joins other artists who have performed in said square, such as Los Tigres del Norte, La Maldita Vecindad, Ángela Aguilar, and Grupo Firmeamong others, while the latter set an attendance record of more than 280,000 people.
Likewise, during the last weekend of this month, Major League Baseball (MLB) games will be held for the first time in Mexico City, including San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giantsat the Alfredo Harp Helú Stadium.
This, after, in 2019, the visit of teams from the Major Leagues did not materialize as this stadium was not finished and later due to the pandemic caused by covid-19.
The presentation of Gigantes and Padres is part of the international sports offer that Mexico City has promoted in recent years and adds to some dates of Formula 1, the National Football League (NFL) and the National Basketball Association (NBA).
“(Both) These are the shows that will help economically reactivate the commercial and service sectors, where the tourism sector stands out mainly, ”said the business center of the Mexican capital.
The Coparmex of Mexico City recalled that, between 2020 and 2022, productivity was affected in the Mexican capital, which harmed the economic operation of hotels, restaurants, bars, entertainment centers, transportation services and, at the same time, the great commercial activity that residents and tourists carry out in parallel to these shows.
According to official data from the Ministry of Tourism of the Mexican capital, the tourist recovery was still at 81.3% at the end of 2022, compared to the flow of visitors with 11.3 million tourists, while, in 2019, the influx was 13.9 millions.
