JEKYLL ISLAND — Reflecting on impressive tourism numbers announced by Gov. Brian Kemp during the three-day Georgia Governor’s Tourism Conference here, Albany Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director Rashelle Minix said Wednesday on the way home from that conference that local numbers also have been “trending upward” post-pandemic.
“I’m really not surprised by the numbers announced by the state,” Minix said. “Albany’s hotel/motel tax numbers have been trending upward the last year and really since the pandemic. And we really didn’t have as big a drop-off during the pandemic as some places had.
