Last year's edition of the Renaissance Festival in Tortosa generated an economic impact of 7.7 million euros for the city, according to a URV study.

The research by the Local and Regional Economics Chair (CELiR) at Rovira i Virgili University highlights the event's profitability. Experts Xavier Farré Albendea and Pau Galiana Llasat state that every euro invested returns 25 euros to the city.
The total impact across the Terres de l'Ebre region reaches 10 million euros. With attendance estimated between 70,000 and 90,000 people, staying tourists spend an average of 114.8 euros per person.
Visitors rated the festival 8.6 out of 10, praising the atmosphere and shows. However, the study identifies parking as a major area for improvement, alongside cleaning and digital communication strategies.
