Tulsa Regional Tourism Hopes 2021 Events Help Rebound Economy
After the pandemic caused several canceled events and plans in 2020, Tulsa Regional Tourism said it is hoping 2021 will help rebuild the economy.
This year, the organization said it is hoping to bounce back from the pandemic.
If everything goes as planned, tourism president Ray Hoyt said it should see an estimated $161 million going back into the economy in 2021. There s a lot of hope right now that the vaccine is going to let things get us back to some sort of normal, whatever normal looks like, Hoyt said.
So far, Tulsa Regional Tourism has 62 events planned. Hoyt said the organization typically has double that number, but they are working now on adding more.
