Chicago officials point to signs of a tourism rebound – Chicago Sun-Times*

A new report cites evidence of the sector’s recovery, such as tourism-related employment returning to 60% of pre-pandemic levels and a sharp turnaround in bookings at the city’s hotels, which yielded a 163% increase in tax revenue compared with 2020. By the end of 2021, average room rates were 90% of pre-pandemic levels, the report said.

60% of pre-pandemic levels? That is hardly anything to celebrate…
