Economic Impact of Return to Las Sabinas in Spain
Commissioned by the Motion Picture Association
During 2023–2024, the production of Return to Las Sabinas resulted in total spending in Spain of approximately €12.2 million. Around €6.5 million (53%) was spent on wages and salaries paid to local production crew and other labor. The production spent the remaining €5.7 million (47%) with around 1,000 local businesses supplying goods and services.
Oxford Economics estimates that the Return to Las Sabinas production expenditures stimulated a €17.1 million contribution to Spain’s GDP in 2023–2024. We find that for every €1 million that the production’s own activities contributed to the economy, it supported a further €1.6 million along its supply chain and through the payment of wages.
We find that the expenditure undertaken by the show’s production stimulated a total of 530 full-time and part-time jobs across Spain in 2023–2024. For every 100 people the production directly employed, its expenditure stimulated another 37 jobs across the country.
