from UHERO, December 17, 2021

Renewed international travel restrictions have reduced the near-term visitor outlook, but the eventual return of foreign tourists in 2022 will enable a broader industry upturn.
Moderate job gains will continue, although labor shortages, the end of pandemic support, and higher inflation will weigh on progress.
