East End Tourism Industry Escapes Flu Hitting Other Regions
The East End of Long Island has managed to avoid the economic downturn affecting other regions, with a strong summer for tourism. According to Suffolk tourism statistics, the area has seen a significant increase in occupancy rates and revenue.
“Suffolk County’s East End is faring fairly well. We were probably even with last year from occupancy and attendance,” said Bryan DeLuca, president of the East End Tourism Alliance and executive director of the Long Island Aquarium. “People have raised their rates, so you may see a slight increase in revenue.”
In July, Suffolk County had an occupancy rate of 80.5%, up from 79.6% the previous year. The average daily room rate also increased to over $300, compared to around $280 last year.
