    La Tomatina es un festival anual de lanzamiento de tomates que se celebra en la ciudad de Buñol, España. Aunque este evento ha atraído mucha atención y turismo a la ciudad, no se puede decir que haya contribuido directamente a la economía local. Aunque puede haber un aumento temporal en los ingresos de los comerciantes locales durante el festival, no se ha demostrado que tenga un impacto duradero en la economía de la ciudad. Por lo tanto, la afirmación de que La Tomatina ha contribuido a la economía de Buñol es falsa.
