The World Cup remains one of the best economic stimuli a country (or three) can get in the short term.

Hotel prices in New York and LA are crazy. Hope it doesn’t leave a bad taste for locals after the event.

Agreed. The infrastructure legacy in Mexico will be felt for years.

Infrastructure upgrades and increased global visibility could bring long-term FDI into the host cities.

Monterrey and Guadalajara are benefiting enormously.

Jersey sales alone could break records. Nike, Adidas and local vendors are printing money right now.

Good question. Many analysts expect a rebound in Q4 as pent-up demand returns after the tournament ends.

Many regular tourists avoided the big cities in July. Do you think they will come back in Q4?

Host cities are already seeing huge spikes in hotel bookings and flight prices for July.

The multi-country hosting really spreads the economic benefits. Mexico and Canada are getting a bigger boost than many expected.
