    Truly sad part? The tourism benefit from it was estimated at 6$ billion… but NBC doesn’t want that.

      Consumer money doesn’t matter where it gets spent. It stays in the economy pretty much no matter what.

      The benefit of tourism to the (destination) economy is that outside money is coming in. That’s it.

        What you say makes sense, but GDP measurement is weird. If I sell you a brick for $1 and then I buy it back the next day, for $1 I think that GDP goes up by $2.
