After years of economic struggle, Atlantic City is “stable.” That’s according to Stockton University Hospitality and Tourism Management Studies professor Dr. Brian Tyrrell, who believes key tourism indicators suggest the region is capable of supporting nine casinos and is positioned for growth.
Tyrrell’s comments come in Stockton University’s Lloyd D. Levenson Institute of Gaming, Hospitality, and Tourism’s second quarter review of tourism performance indicators. The publication found that lodging and parking fees increased across Atlantic County between April through June.
Hotel receipts increased by six percent in June, while parking charges climbed two percent. The data points are critical in analyzing tourism traffic in Atlantic City and throughout the county.
