The California Comeback Task Force meets twice a month to share the latest news and stats, hear insights from guest speakers, and have valuable conversations that will help guide recovery efforts. At the March 22 meeting, hear an economist's perspective on rising gas prices and travel.
Skyrocketing inflation, plus Russia’s war on Ukraine, have contributed to the astonishing prices Americans have been seeing at the gas pumps lately. The national average price per gallon has hit an all-time high of over $4, and the average in California soared to $5.74 over the weekend.
Aran Ryan, Director of Lodging Analytics at Tourism Economics, will discuss the recent increases in fuel prices and the potential impacts on travel as we head into spring.
Ryan is responsible for developing tools to help investors, operators, hotel brands, associations, and destinations with strategic decisions. He has over 20 years of consulting experience in lodging, casino gaming, vacation ownership, and destination development.
