Looks like someone forgot to deliver the “We’re in a deep recession” memo to D.C. visitors.
While the rest of the country’s tourism industry faces a meltdown, event organizers in Washington are expecting figures consistent with those in years’ past. The National Cherry Blossom Festival, running through next weekend, could draw a million visitors over its two-week stretch, while hotel occupancy and rates are strongly outperforming U.S.-wide averages.
The reasons? National excitement surrounding a new president, and a deep recession that has forced Americans to stay local instead of traveling overseas.
In this piece, Medill business reporter Liam Martin pays a visit to the parade this past Saturday, the Blossom Festival's biggest draw. He speaks with Diana Mayhew, the president of the Cherry Blossom Festival, Destination DC vice president Victoria Isley, and a local restaurant owner who says sales are getting a boost early in the spring season.
