Convention-goers and visitors in general are breaking records in San Francisco.
The local CVB reported the number of overall visitors to the city last year was more than 15 million, up 5.9% from the previous year.
The city also booked 936 conventions.
Said Mark Theis, vice president of the convention bureau:
“The major benchmarks of a healthy hospitality industry — hotel occupancy and average room rates — continue to give us reasons to be optimistic.”
Occupancy in the city was up 2.2%. And the average daily room rate at $151.69 was up 3.5% in a year, according to PKF Consulting.
