It appears Philadelphia tourism is bouncing back as the COVID-19 pandemic eases. New numbers show visitors are returning to the city and the region. KerriCorrado reports
The city says 36.2 million people visited the greater Philadelphia region in 2021, a 21% increase from 2020. When it comes to spending, visitors spent $5.3 billion, a 26% increase from 2020.
“To see our hospitality community work so smartly, strategically, and collaboratively to bring visitors back to our hotels, museums and restaurants and shops is hallmark Philly,” Mayor Jim Kenney said.“The building never really went dark. If you think about it, our convention center served as a polling place, served as a testing place, as a vaccination place and it allowed us to do a few events during the midst of the pandemic,” Caren said.
