Between getting there, staying there, eating and drinking there, and all other activity, attendees of the two major-party conventions will be responsible for spending an estimated $360 million in their host cities this year, according to a projection from the U.S. Travel Association.

That spending total splits straight down the middle for the two events—$180 million each for the Republican National Convention in Cleveland July 18-21 and the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia July 25-28.

Including indirect and induced impact, a total of $600 million in economic output—$300 million for each convention—is expected to be generated for both host regions. That total could support 1,800 jobs in each place, or 3,600 jobs in total.

“You’re going to hear a lot from the candidates about their plans to create jobs,” said U.S. Travel Association President and CEO Roger Dow. “It might give some people pause, but one of the easiest ways to do that is to hold more conventions. The economic activity associated with these kinds of events is extremely compelling, and we aim to make sure our policymakers understand that.”

U.S. Travel’s impact prediction encompasses expected spending by attendees on items such as lodging, meals, transportation and general retail, as well as spending by each host committee, funding for security, etc.

Throughout its 75-year history, the U.S. Travel Association has conducted extensive economic research on domestic and international travel activity. This includes frequent economic impact studies of major travel-related events, such as meetings, conventions and holidays, as well as significant interruptions like severe weather events and government shutdowns.

U.S. Travel economists generated the convention impact figures using hotel data provided by the travel research firm STR, as well as other travel and economic statistics. The organization’s goal is to highlight the substantial and positive economic and jobs impact of large, in-person meetings such as the political conventions.

Some of the combined numbers for both conventions:

  • Total projected attendees: 100,000-120,000
    • Delegates: 10,000-12,000
    • Media members: 30,000-36,000
    • Other visitors and participants: 60,000-72,000
  • Average daily trip spending per attendee: $300
  • Hotel/other lodging room nights: 148,500
    • Total lodging revenues: $33 million

U.S. Travel is amplifying its message that travel is “serious business” with an advertising campaign targeted at convention attendees. The organization has placed ads extolling the economic value of the political conventions at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and in Amtrak Acela trains in the Northeast Corridor.

advertising campaign

Additionally, U.S. Travel will have a branding presence at each convention’s POLITICO Hub, oases featuring refreshments, speakers and entertainment. U.S. Travel-sponsored items at those venues will include several convention “necessities”—including charging stations for electronic devices, pillows, chewable coffee and oxygen bars.

Said Dow: “Conventions and in-person meetings are an absolutely vital creator of accessible, good-paying, un-exportable jobs in this country. An effective way to remind our policymakers of that is to make sure the message is front and center while they’re all in one place.”

One of the most horrifying and wickedly gruesome shows in television history is bleeding off the screen.

“American Horror Story,” FX’s critically-acclaimed, Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning television series that has terrorised viewers for five suspenseful instalments, will come to life at “Halloween Horror Nights” at Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood, beginning in September.

Three chapters of “American Horror Story” will haunt the best, most intense Halloween event in all-new frightening mazes.

Guests will embark on a terrifying journey to become the next doomed residents of Murder House from instalment one, tortured performers in the disturbing and twisted Freak Show from instalment four, and victims of the otherworldly, death-dealing hotel from instalment five.

For the first time ever, guests will venture through Ryan Murphy’s ground-breaking horror anthology, encountering a plethora of iconic scenes and memorable characters designed to jolt them to their core.

Twisted scenes from Murder House will unleash the evil spirits that possess the Harmon estate, spiralling guests through decades of the tortured dead who previously resided there.

In Freak Show, guests will join a troupe of biological misfits in a sinister sideshow where they’ll be stalked by the murderous and deformed Twisty the Clown.

Finally, guests will succumb to the warped desires of The Countess after checking in to the haunted Hotel Cortez, conceived from the beginning as a torture chamber for its customers.

“‘American Horror Story’ is one of the most disturbing television shows ever produced, and with such perverse storylines unfolding with each instalment, ‘Halloween Horror Nights’ is undoubtedly the only place that could create a living version of the nightmares that Ryan Murphy dreams up,” said John Murdy, creative director at Universal Studios Hollywood.

“Plus, as a fan favourite, ‘American Horror Story’ has been the number one requested maze from our guests and we’re excited to let them know that we listened to them and are bringing ‘American Horror Story’ to life.”

You might be knowing that as the third-largest state in the U.S.,  you will find here in the city of California numerous transportation options for getting to and around California.

A highly accessible state, each region has several airports that have either direct or connecting flights to or from your destination.

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) serves the largest number of travelers in the state and is the most widely used airport in Southern California.

San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is the second-busiest airport in the state, and serves the entire San Francisco Bay area, as well as many parts of Northern California.

Flying may also be a reasonable option for in-state travel, as California consists of over 160,000 square miles of varied landscape.

Due to the vast expanse of the state, a car is often the best mode of transportation. Trains and buses are also cheaper alternatives to getting around, with both local and regional stops throughout the state.
