A new report shows that tourism in Pennsylvania is bouncing back from the COVID epidemic in 2021 but has not yet recovered to pre-pandemic levels. The state Department of Community and Economic Development’s annual tourism report shows that Pennsylvania had nearly 180-million visitors in 2021 who spent 38-billion-dollars. The number of tourists was up more than 28-million compared to 2020. State officials say tourism is a significant economic driver in Pennsylvania and helps to fund transportation, infrastructure, education and public safety programs.
