What are people doing this summer and fall? Are San Francisco toursim numbers increasing and for that matter is tourism increasing across the United States? Will they be traveling or will their budget restraints keep them at or close to home, saving the family vacation for a time when the economy is better? The answers may surprise you.
If you look at the recent data and projections, the leisure travel numbers are indeed rising and the expected growth is targeted for about 2 percent. This means a travel spending increase of up to 5 percent. Confidence is high, and this is welcome news for tourism.
It is certainly within reason, then, to expect the city of San Francisco to benefit from this uptake in travel. Considering the variety of options in the city, it could certainly see better tourism numbers in the near future.
Consider Fisherman’s Wharf one of the primary attractions with its street performers, fantastic seafood, historical items and museums. Boats that tour the bay or embark for whale watching or ferry tourists to Alcatraz are located nearby as well.
There is the Muir Woods, across the bay in Marin County. This is a spectacular walk through nature nicely maintained. Gently sloped walking paths as well as steeper winding paths through the forest promise a glimpse of nature that can be enjoyed by both the young and the old.
And certainly the Golden Gate, the majestic landmark that traverses the bay and opens up to the Pacific Ocean, will be on the top of everyone’s list, whether crossing by car, bike, or on foot.
No doubt the city of San Francisco is more than ready to benefit from the increased travel by tourists, and it is prepared to provide the vacation of a lifetime for those that take advantage of all it has to offer.
