“It’s an honor for our region to play host to one of the nation’s largest Pride celebrations. “I’m excited San Diego Pride festivities will return for 2022 in full force,” he said.
Nathan Fletcher, chair of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, echoed that sentiment. It will highlight our friendly, inclusive spirit while attracting visitors to our hotels, restaurants, and cultural attractions and boosting our local tourism economy.” “That is why we are so excited San Diego Pride is scheduled to return in 2022.
“LGBTQ diversity, equity, and inclusion are central to our efforts to invite people to our vibrant city because when people feel welcome, they want to visit,” Coker said in a statement. The significance of its return is not lost on Julie Coker, president and CEO of the San Diego Tourism Authority, who stressed the importance of the annual event, which, organizers say, has a local economic impact of $26.6 million.
