"As people are back in their offices working, we're seeing more and more business travel. The one pillar that still is out there that is yet to recover is that international piece for us,"
"I want people who come here, maybe for the first time, to say we loved it here. We're going to come back,"
"Yes, we're on the rise but we're also born for this. This is exactly what we do, we take on big challenges and this is a chance for the community to come together and really show the world who we are,"
Sixty days remain until Super Bowl 60 in Santa Clara, expected to draw hundreds of thousands to millions of visitors to the Bay Area. The event, combined with next summer's World Cup, is projected to inject hundreds of millions of dollars into the regional economy and could fill up to 400,000 hotel rooms. Surrounding cities including San Francisco and Oakland anticipate tourism and business travel gains, with leaders aiming to attract high-spending international visitors. Organizers intend to use the events to reinforce a narrative of a Bay Area comeback, continue planning work, and prepare communities to showcase the region.
