Two BTS concerts held in Bogota on 2 and 3 October have been assigned large estimated economic impact values by local authorities.

Bogota district government and IDT tourism observatory stated that the events generated over $99 billion in total economic activity [^1].

The Bogota Tourism Observatory separately estimated the economic impact of the same two concerts at 99,000 million pesos, equivalent to approximately $25.4 million [^2].

No explanation for the discrepancy between the two published figures has been provided.
