Tourism is a vital part of the local economy in Redondo Beach. Local hotels, local restaurants, and local small businesses all rely on the outside investment and patronage from countless visitors each year. The Redondo Beach Chamber of Commerce Hotelier’s Committee have identified the key areas of focus they support to attract the next generation of people that will choose Redondo Beach as their premier destination in Southern California. In the era of technology, visible improvements are necessary to compete in the tourism industry unlike ever before. With the internet and sites like YELP that review local businesses and attractions, travelers rely more on the immediate perception of those visiting a city over the nostalgia of past visits or the historic reputation a community may have built over decades. This puts a great deal of pressure on local cities and their tourism industries to improve their amenities for visitors, as well as enhance the overall experience of travelers from around the world. This is why the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is so important to cities. The TOT is an important source of revenue to not only improve business districts and tourist destinations, but equally important to develop the tourism industry and market all that Redondo Beach has to offer the outside community. It’s not good enough to just be a great destination, you need to communicate to potential visitors why coming to Redondo Beach is desirable and be able to quantify what is important to the demographic of travelers that comprise our community’s target market. With so much opportunity in Redondo Beach, it is important to get it right. Redondo Beach has the chance to distinguish itself as the premier destination in the region for generations to come.
