The World Travel and Tourism Council just published a study of most travel dependent markets across the world. In the US the top group in terms of tourism contribution to GDP are Las Vegas, Orlando and Miami. New York is among the largest dollar earners in the US but the % of GDP is not as significant in that market. This seems like a reasonable indicator of markets to be careful in while the Covid 19 virus remains such a big factor in travel and leisure habits.
A Great Cause
You pick the disaster and World Central Kitchen is there providing food for those who desperately need something to eat and some encouragement. They have fed hurricane victims in Houston, Florida, and Puerto Rico, passengers stranded on a quarantined cruise ship, firemen in California and families stranded in Mexico’s border towns. If you are looking for somewhere to donate your time or your money, this would be a solid choice. In the incredibly cynical time we live in, it is great to see a person like Chef Andres making a massive difference for those in need.
