Welcome to Key West!
Here is one thing fascinating!
In February 2021, Key West was the #1
vacationer vacation spot in the USA!
Superb if you notice that this
island – key’s, however a 4 mile lengthy and a mile and a half broad at
it is widest level (no, it is not two miles broad) can be the
#1 vacationer vacation spot for February 2021, within the U.S.
After all, this was attributable to a number of
elements, however all had been routed in COVID 19, and the icing on the cake
being a really favorable heat, tropical local weather.
As I write this, it’s June and summer time
is knocking on the door. As of Might, Journey Advisor rated Key West #5 in
all U.S. trip locations for 2021/2022. Fairly spectacular for a
little island with a inhabitants of 23,342.
The straightforward reality is, Key West is
rocking!
I’ve talked with a number of enterprise
house owners and they’re all saying the identical factor: Their companies are
working 30% – 40% greater than this time, not final yr, however this
time in 2019!
I spoke with certainly one of
the managers the place we play, saying that I hope issues keep the
degree. He replied to me that he was out with a number of pals who’re
managers at a number of of the bigger accommodations on the town. All of them instructed him
that they’re booked stable by way of August! Summer season was the
“gradual season”.
Additionally, keep in mind
that this enterprise upswing to this point is with out the cruise ship enterprise, who
haven’t been again since March of final yr.
Many new guests
have arrived. The final consensus is that they completely love
Key West! As a performer, many inform me how grateful they’re to
hear stay music.
Reside music is a cornerstone of Key
West. It is a very, very massive portion of what makes up the tradition
and id of this city.
Of all of the venues
in Key West which have supplied stay music, at this level, I do know of
just one that’s not providing stay music. In the mean time I
perceive, they haven’t any plans to carry it again. Like everybody else,
they’re doing a bumper-to-bumper enterprise. I do hope it dawns on
them that having stay music is fertilizing Key West’s tradition! I’ll
add that it’s certainly one of my favourite locations to play. Hopefully, they
will come round! Fabulous administration and workers as effectively.
Nonetheless, as I say, Key West goes
by way of a growth in the intervening time. I feel everybody, each guests and
locals are thrilled about it!
My private feeling
is to see how we’re doing a yr from now, in June 2022. That can be
the litmus check.
