A very good thing, although those in inland areas of the state won't be much affected by this.

The value of the dollar being a little lower may be helping a bit with the foreign travel.

Anyhow, it is good news.

This is laughable

You guys are cranking the propaganda machine on Citi-data …

Travel is a one-way direction and the hotel stay increase is due to the thousands of families being forced out of their homes due to foreclosure. The first stay in a hotel if no one will put them up and then they leave California for lower cost of living after they wrap-up lose ends.

This is perhaps the most ironic comment ever written in the history of city-data.

I hadn't realized that travel to CA was ever in decline. Now Hawaii on the other hand, there's an expensive vacation.

The irony is that we are in the worse economic situation in our lives, with a future predicted to get much worse, but on this forum there is a constant barrage of false feel good articles that try and convince the reader that we are in some sort of recovery. I'm just wondering if your paid well to disseminate the propaganda.

They're not "false feel good articles". More like a few silver linings in the exceptionally cloudy skies...
