As NJBIZ reported, state tourism officials are expecting a strong summer season and anticipate visitor volume and spending to beat 2019 levels.

Restaurant weeks are another way for towns to encourage tourists and residents alike to support local eateries, especially after many were hit hard by the pandemic, as well as increasing costs and worker shortages.
