"Philadelphia’s convention industry is slated to bring 150,000 more visitors to the city this year than in 2021, increasing associated hotel room nights nearly four-fold in “a huge spike” as the sector ramps up, Pennsylvania Convention Center CEO John McNichol said at the Philadelphia Business Journal’s annual Economic Forecast event."
"About 60 events are on the books for 2022, making for “a pretty strong” year at the 2 million-square-foot Center City facility. Many of the bookings are larger than the events of last year and hitting “citywide” status, meaning an event generating upward of 2,000 hotel room nights on its busiest night. The events are expected to draw about 750,000 attendees to the convention center, generating almost 350,000 hotel room nights in the local industry, McNichol added."
