Steve Markle, Oars vice president of sales and marketing, told The Times-Independent bookings are down 8% this year, with 2% attributed to the decline in international visitors during the summer.
“And they’re booking it the day before.”At the Moab Tourism Advisory Board meeting on Sept. 9, Taylor said his business is working hard to stay flat in revenue.
How businesses are adjustingSimilar to Markle and Glover, Taylor said the pre-bookings “aren’t there.”“It’s incredibly stressful because we’re trying to plan for the fall.
Like Glover, Taylor said tariffs are driving up his costs, and he may have to absorb some of the inflation himself.
The Utah Office of Tourism is working to establish nonstop flights from 1o Asian countries to Salt Lake City.
