The data of Lighthouse They show how music and major events are moving the market in different cities in the region.

🇵🇪 Lima: when rock sets the pace of the market
The most notable case of the year occurred in Lime, where the concert of Green Day, held on August 27, generated the highest price spike of the year. Hotel rates were 20% higher than the annual average, with several days of “high” and “very high” demand concentrated around the event.
This trend reveals how entertainment tourism is gaining importance in the Peruvian market: fans aren't just attending concerts, they're also traveling, booking rooms, and extending their stays. For hotels, this represents a clear opportunity to adjust rates, availability, and marketing strategies around the cultural and musical events that are moving the city.
🌎 Other destinations that felt the “event” effect
The impact is not limited to Lima. In Bogotá, the concerts of Shakira and the Freedom Festival drove demand peaks of up to +37% above average, consolidating the Colombian capital as a high-traffic destination for international shows.
In Buenos Aires, the festival Lollapalooza (March) was also decisive: the data reflect an increase of 28% above the average prices, positioning these dates among the most expensive of the year.
These examples reinforce a common pattern in the region: major events attract not only local audiences but also international travelers, generating a positive impact on occupancy, rates, and tourism spending.
