06/22/2026 - Tourism Committee Meeting

The Warren County New York Tourism Committee met on June 22, 2026, primarily to review tourism performance data for May 2026 compared to the previous year. The discussion focused on hotel room supply, demand, occupancy rates, and revenue, with some concerns raised about the accuracy of data from the current provider, CoStar, especially regarding room supply declines due to hotel renovations. Committee members noted that while revenue and occupancy rates improved, the actual number of visitors (heads in beds) was not increasing significantly, impacting tourism's contribution to local sales tax revenue. An RFP for a new data provider was mentioned, aiming to improve data accuracy and accessibility for local businesses. No formal procurement decisions or contract awards were made during this meeting, but the committee is actively pursuing better data solutions to guide future marketing and financial decisions related to tourism.
