Licking County Travel Partner- Failure isn’t part of the travel and tourism culture, and even when the chips are down, we still come out swinging. I love that about us. It’s no secret that one of the hardest-hit industries during the pandemic has been ours. The global economy depends heavily on our successful rebound. I often argue that the US economy won’t return until travel and leisure fully return to a pre-pandemic position. Here’s the good news and one of the reasons I have stayed in our sector for more than thirty years – We are fighters, innovators, and creative strategists – who doesn’t want to hang out with that crowd? The world can dump a ton of bricks on us, and we still figure it out. One of our biggest hurdles right now is staffing our attractions, hotels, and F and B locations. You guys are my heroes for facing that challenge head-on – it’s a big one for sure. The mountain seems steep, but keep up the excellent work – you’re making progress. Read on for the latest sector employment data shared by US Travel Association.
