Strategic Insights

“

Infrastructure Strategy: Cities should treat tours as "Mega-Events" (like the Super Bowl), investing in transit and hospitality capacity to maximize the "Extended Stay" traveler segment.

“

Beyond Ticket Sales: While box office revenue is significant ($579M), total economic impact estimates include direct spending and secondary effects through the local economy (indirect and induced impacts).
