More than 67,000 people entered the country for the Paraguay 2022 South American Games, which began on October 1 and will run until October 15. Most of them visited Guarani soil for the first time, coming from 117 countries of the world. The numbers far exceeded the expectations of the organizers, however, so far the collection data is not known.
Consulting with the organizers of the event, they do not know how much it reached in economic terms, despite the fact that the initial expectations of the organizers, whose average was between 15,000 and 20,000 people, have been exceeded.
Impact on the economy
The Senatur Minister, Sofia Montiel, previously mentioned that the Odesur Games have generated an economic movement that had a return of US$200 million, benefiting not only the hotel sector, but also the construction, transportation and everything related to the infrastructure and logistics to promote the sporting event. “All of this results in a positive impact and a spillover effect on the economy, especially in the hotel, transportation and gastronomy sectors.”
