Los Angeles needs more visitors to help it recover from last month’s devastating fires, hospitality leaders told Reuters, noting that the city as a whole is safe to visit and that tax revenue from lodgings can help rebuilding efforts. According to LA Tourism, every $1 spent on a hotel room translates into an additional $2.12 in tourist spending in Los Angeles. 543,000 Angelenos depend on tourism for their livelihoods.

Some see Maui as a precautionary tale: Tourism is still in a slump a year and a half after the Hawaiian island’s deadly wildfires, leading the state’s governor to authorize $6.3 million to boost tourism-recovery efforts.
