Scalada Stelar received more than 107,000 spectators over the 22 scheduled performances, setting an audience and occupancy record (98%). Of the total number of foreign spectators, 85.2% were tourists who stayed at least one night in the country, a figure that has been growing since the 2013 edition when the percentage was 78%. The average stay was 2.33 nights and more than 40% stayed in parishes outside Andorra la Vella and Escaldes-Engordany.
In fact, for 78.5% of those attending Cirque du Soleil, one of the main reasons for visiting Andorra is precisely to see the show. Once in the country, they also take advantage of other activities, such as Shopping, discovering the country and going to Restaurants.
