ATLANTIC CITY-- Despite disappointing casino revenue numbers being released yesterday, the CRDA says tourism held steady in January.
The CRDA's monthly tourism barometer report says that key business indicators point to a positive trend. The number of tourists stopping at visitor centers was up nearly 25% compared to January 2011. The number of people visiting Atlantic City's official tourism website was up 30% compared to last year.
The CRDA also says that increases in volume on the Atlantic City Expressway and at the Atlantic City International Airport are positive signs for tourism in Atlantic City.
The mild Winter weather and new master plan released by the CRDA are cited as potential reasons for the increase in tourism this January.
