Cleveland tourism is on the rise, but there is still a ways to go. Veale Institute executive director Michael Goldberg spoke with News 5 Cleveland about what those numbers might reflect.
“I think people are still suffering with the impact of inflation. Gas prices are high and with the OPEX recent announcement about cutting back on production, we expect higher gas prices so folks are looking at how they can save on every dollar, and that may mean one less trip and filling up the tank to visit,” he said.
Goldberg continued saying, “Those numbers I think reflect good growth. Certainly could’ve been a little bit higher, but I think folks here are happy to see those numbers heading back in the right direction."
