According to the organizers of the Jennifer Lopez concert in Yerevan, 15,000 tourists came to Armenia; Minister of Economy Gevorg Papoyan noted this on Facebook: “In 2024, the Ministry of Economy publicized the ‘visit study’ of the Italian-Armenian consortium, according to which those who have a tour package spend an average of $888 when coming to Armenia; therefore, based on this study, we can claim that for the $6 million spent on this concert, we have received more than $13.3 million; moreover, this does not include many other results, such as, for example, the effects resulting from the country’s publicity; I think it would be great if there were several performances by such stars in Armenia every year,” added the Minister of Economy; according to another news source, thousands of people arrived in Armenia from various countries to attend the August 3 concert of American pop star Jennifer Lopez in Yerevan, organizers said Saturday; Doping Space, the organizer of the concert, said that the number of foreigners alone attending the concert is estimated to be 15,000; “15,000 of the concertgoers alone are from abroad; that’s why hotels are sold out in Yerevan for the coming days; some of the guests arriving in Armenia have been accommodating in hotels in Tsaghkadzor and Sevan; there’s a large flow of visitors coming to Armenia in the Bagratashen checkpoint, which has caused congestions,” organizers said; the concert took place at the Vazgen Sargsyan Stadium in Yerevan.
