As New Jersey prepares to lift many of its COVID-19 restrictions next week, tourism boosters have a sunny outlook on the upcoming summer season at the Shore.
“We are anticipating a great 2021,” said Diane Wieland, director of tourism for Cape May County.
Wieland was among the panelists at the 13th annual Jersey Shorecast, hosted by Stockton University’s Levenson Institute of Gaming, Hospitality and Tourism on Wednesday.
Atlantic City fared better last year than expected, according to Larry Seig, president and CEO of Meet AC. “We saw a lot of people last year who wanted to get out,” he said. “But now that we even had more of the outdoor restrictions lifted and we can do concerts again and activate the boardwalk, we’re going to see even more people come down.”

Beaches aren t one size fits all: When it comes to where you lay your towel, we re all looking for something different.
Some people like a long soak in the sun before a nice walk to lunch. Others love to ride the waves before heading to the boardwalk for a spin on the Ferris wheel.
From north to south, the Jersey Shore has all of this, plus quiet stretches of sand and bits of beach with great cocktails nearby. So before you pack your beach bag, consider which beach is your kind of beach.

Jon Henderson walked along the runways of Bader Field just after noon on Monday talking about the new location of the upcoming Atlantic City Beer and Music Festival when he began receiving text message after text message.
The messages were about Gov. Phil Murphy dropping many COVID restrictions including removing all outdoor gathering limits. This was good news for Henderson, of Good Time Tricycle Productions and the festival’s producer, who will hold the hugely popular event outside at the abandoned airport for the first time in its 16 year history.
