Hardly having born, the new heir to the British crown already managed to bring the national economy about 521 million pounds sterling almost 800 million dollars.)
It goes without saying that most of such an impressive amount was spent by foreign tourists. Experts estimated that the local tourism sector received an additional $ 319 million due to the increased interest in the country because of the birth of the prince. Another 134 million dollars managed to be gained directly at the festive events timed to the birth of a new heir. The rest of the amount was:
- sales of souvenirs with royal family symbols ($ 143 million),
- sales of beverages ($ 95 million),
- sales of books ($ 61 million),
- sales of dvd disks ($ 55 million).
The birth of "His Royal Highness Prince of Cambridge" has also been an excellent occasion for holding various promotions by English companies. For example, on July 23, the low-cost Ryanair offered couples free tickets for babies (at regular times passengers have to pay extra for a newborn child of 30 pounds.)
