Los Angeles Tourism Figures Fall For First Time Since Pandemic
New figures indicate that tourism in the city and county of Los Angeles fell last year, marking the first decline since the pandemic. The downturn is attributed to factors including wildfires, ice rain concerns, and international trade tensions. This breaks a decade-long trend where the area saw an average annual growth of nearly 3%. Factors cited for the drop include wildfires, concerns regarding ICE raids, and international trade tensions. The head of Visit California told the LA Times that recent wildfires left the region facing challenges.
