Delta to begin nonstop flights from Pittsburgh to Paris in June. Great from both a business and leisure perspective.

Pittsburgh one of few cities where hotel industry has been growing
In another story about Pittsburgh defying nationwide downtrends, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that the local hotel industry is growing rapidly while the industry in other markets is receding.
The Post-Gazette reports that in addition to an explosion in new hotel properties being built locally, demand for hotel rooms in Pittsburgh is rising as well. The PG quoted Smith Travel Research as saying that of the 100 largest cities in the country, only 11 saw their hotel occupancy rates rise. Pittsburgh was one of those. Pittsburgh had the ninth highest increase in occupancy rates at 1.3 percent.
This coincides with previous reports documenting the increase in tourism to Pittsburgh and the good reviews it gets from national travel writers (read my two recent posts about good travel reviews from The New York Times and USA Today).

NY Times Travel Writer Gives Pittsburgh a Great Review!
You probably thought I abandoned this blog. What? It's only been 11 months since my last post! Anyway, hopefully I will find time to do this more often.
The New York Times travel section has a great review of Pittsburgh for this Sunday's edition, calling it "hip", "cool", "surprisingly pretty", and a "gleaming cultural oasis" among other things.
Enjoy the fireworks tonight!
