Boost to the Local Economy
During the festival, sectors such as hospitality, retail, and tourism experience remarkable growth. Local hotels, restaurants, and shops see an increase in revenue thanks to the influx of tourists and event attendees. This economic impact translates into more job opportunities and development for the residents of Alcántara.
