GERING, Neb. (AP) As the summer tourism season continues, local tourism maintains high visitor turnout as people hit the road, traveling to destinations like the Scotts Bluff National Monument.
Scotts Bluff National Monument Superintendent Dan Morford said tourism numbers for the past three months are up.
“We’re definitely substantially higher than our five-year average,” he told the Scottsbluff Star-Herald.
Looking at visitor numbers, Morford said the park’s visitation is up 52% for the months of April, May and June. Tourism numbers for 2020 were removed as outliers due to the pandemic.
