The Carnival World Tour (Chinese: 嘉年華世界巡迴演唱會) is the eighth concert tour by Taiwanese recording artist Jay Chou. The tour began in Shanghai at the Mercedes-Benz Arena on October 17, 2019, and spans 82 dates in Asia, Oceania, and Europe. Initially halted by the COVID-19 pandemic in January 2020, the concert tour resumed in Singapore in December 2022.
Chinese media sources have highlighted the surge in economic activities and the significant boost in tourism experienced by the cities that were visited by the Carnival World Tour.
Economic impact

[edit]Chou's concerts in Shanghai in October 2023 brought elevated economic effects to the city's tourism sector. According to statistics from Tongcheng Travel, despite the tourism off-season following the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, the bookings of hotels in Shanghai from October 12 to 15 ranked amongst the top three nationwide, surging approximately 80%. Demand for taxi travel in the Shanghai area increased by more than 70%, while the demand to and from the Shanghai Stadium increased by as much as 300%. Demand for trips to and from large transportation hubs such as airports and train stations in the city increased by 110%.[1]

The concerts attracted 95,100 tourists from outside of the province and brought ¥976 million (US$134 million) in tourism revenue, nearly triple the amount earned during the Dragon Boat Festival and ¥100 million more than during Labour Day.[2]
In Tianjin and Hohhot, the Carnival World Tour brought ¥3 billion and ¥2.88 billion in tourism revenue, respectively.[3] More than 100,000 tourists travelled to Taiyuan, Shanxi to attend the concerts.[4] Tourist attractions in Fuzhou saw an significant increase in visitors due to the tour; the Sanfang Qixiang saw a 77% increase in foot traffic, Yantai Mountain saw an increase of 64%, whereas West Lake Park saw an increase of 90.4% in visitors.[5]
