Regular listeners of America’s #1 Travel Radio Show hear us talk with regularly about the major impact travel and tourism have on the world, and that importance is just as factual when you look at individual markets/destinations. Pre-pandemic 1 in 8 jobs in San Diego were in the Travel/Hospitality industry and it generated nearly $20Billion in total economic impact.
