The 2030 World Cup, which Portugal is organising together with Spain and Morocco, is expected to have an economic impact of more than 800 million euros, resulting in 2.3% growth in tourist revenue and the creation of around 20,000 jobs.
“The conclusions are that, in the three countries as a whole, around 409,000 jobs will be created, and in Portugal, we will be talking about 18 to 23 thousand jobs in this organisation”, revealed the Prime Minister, in response to a question from the Liberal Initiative ( IL), during the preparatory debate for the European Council on 19 December.
The study cited by Luís Montenegro, adds Lusa, was carried out by a consultancy last October and shows that this sporting competition should also generate an economic impact of more than 800 million euros.
“In all three countries, for each euro invested, in principle, there is a return of 1.8 euros. In the Portuguese case, each euro invested will result, according to the study, in a return of 8.5 euros. Therefore, we have a much greater impact in Portugal than in our other co-organizing partners”, said the Prime Minister.
The study says that the competition should have “a total impact of between 707 and 859 million euros on GDP, taxes generated between 312 and 394 million euros and a 2.3% increase in usual tourism revenues, estimated at between 300 and 500 thousand visitors.”
