During Euro 2012 in Poland 600 foreign supporters and tourists spent approximately PLN 900 million. This number is far higher than the originally expected level of expenditure by foreigners. PLN 768 m had been the foreigner-related revenues estimated for the Tournament in ‘Impact’ report released in June 2010 which researched the influence of Euro 2012 on the Polish economy. More significant, though, than the short-term revenues are the medium-term benefits for the country attributed to the improvement in the country’s image internationally, increase in tourist activity and large-scale transport infrastructure modernization. PLN 24 bn is aggregate Euro 2012 – related revenues that Poland will obtain between 2013 and 2020.
