The push to get San Diego hotel workers devastated by the pandemic back to work
Newly proposed legislation aims to provide a tax credit to hotel workers for personal protective equipment as well as direct payroll grants to the hotel industry Author: Richard Allyn (Reporter) Updated: 11:18 PM PDT May 13, 2021
SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Calif. Before COVID-19 struck, San Diego s tourism industry was the county s second-largest employer. The economic shutdown forced by the pandemic, though, has had a devastating effect on thousands of local hotel workers, and its impacts are still being felt.
Leading up to the pandemic, according to Julie Coker, head of the San Diego Tourism Authority, our county boasted 200,000 travel-related jobs.
SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – At the peak of the pandemic, some 70,000 tourism and hospitality workers lost their jobs in San Diego.
Visitor spending tumbled over 55% from $11.6 billion in 2019 to $5.2 billion 2020, and hotel tax revenue is expected to be down around $70 million for fiscal year 2022.
In short, San Diego lost almost 20 years of economic gains in visitor spending, jobs and tax revenues.
CEO of the San Diego Tourism Authority, Julie Coker, joined KUSI’s Lauren Phinney on Good Morning San Diego to discuss how they plan to recover as they prepare for a heavy travel season this Summer.
