Ahead of the event, NatWest has predicted that Eurovision fans will spend at least £40m
Visitors to Liverpool are expected to spend up to £40m during the week the city hosts the Eurovision Song Contest, according to a new economic forecast.
Malcolm Buchanan, chair of the North Regional Board at NatWest, said: "While the contest is coming to Liverpool because of awful global events, it is certain the city will put on a fantastic show that does the UK proud as custodians of Eurovision on behalf of Ukraine. "Hopefully as well as acting as a short-term boost for business, the song contest will also be a catalyst for further long-term growth in the city’s economy."
"Not only will people across the globe be watching this iconic event, but we also expect 100,000 extra visitors staying and enjoying our fantastic region, which of course means a huge boost in visitor spending.
