Local businesses stress importance of tourism on Labor Day weekend
SUMMARY: As Labor Day approaches, tourism businesses are emphasizing its significance as a crucial weekend for summer activities before the fall season begins. Eva Philli, co-owner of GF Coast Gator Ranch, notes that with schools back in session, fewer families are traveling compared to mid-summer, making this weekend vital for local tourism. After Labor Day, businesses anticipate a slowdown until Thanksgiving. The Gulf Coast region significantly contributes to Mississippi’s tourism revenue, generating over 30% annually and employing over 27,000 locals. With projected higher travel numbers this year due to lower fuel prices, businesses remain hopeful for a boost in visitors.
Labor Day weekend acts as the last weekend for many tourism businesses to have a business spike before a heavy decline.
