7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 2018 Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian The 2018 Astoria Regatta Court gave speeches to the audience at the Liberty Theatre during the coronation. Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian Visitors start to gather for the annual volleyball tournament in Seaside this week, one of the larger draws of the season. Tourism: Vistors down, but spending up Continued from Page 1A “If they are spending more because a room costs more and gas costs more, and maybe they are spending more on restaurants, then you can have more spending without actually having more people there,” Aliski said. Ideally, the industry would seek higher occupancy and growth in room rates simulta- neously, Aliski said, but sea- sonal dips on the coast make this a challenge. With high demand, it is often easier to increase room rates during the peak season than to entice visitors to travel during the off-season when occupancy rates are lower — even with lower room rates, he said. Higher rates for hotel rooms could be having a dis- couraging effect for some vis- itors, said Marcus Hinz, of the Oregon Coast Visitors Asso- ciation. But part of the stag- nation may just be a sign new lodging is not being built to match growth, with many small towns, like Cannon Beach, already built out. “When you look at the coast’s rate compared with the rate of growth in Portland, one might think we’re not doing well,” Hinz said. “But Port- land is building new hotels left and right; they have more rooms online to be booked, which would add to a rate of growth. On the Oregon Coast, I can only name one new prop- erty to come online in the last year.” Hinz also noted that day-trippers contribute to gen- eral tourism growth but are not accounted for when looking at room nights. Linea Gagliano, commu- nications director for Travel Oregon, said the dynamic could also point to a different type of traveler. The growth in spending suggests the visitors who are here are destination travelers, who often travel in large groups, for longer peri- ods of time and spend more on accommodations and local businesses during their stays. The coast has also seen inter- national visitors increase by 5.9 percent in recent years — another group which tends to stay longer and spend more. “What matters to us is that businesses are getting visitor spending, and we are seeing that,” Gagliano said. Whatever the factors may be, the numbers could be pointing to the region reaching a certain capacity during peak summer months, Aliski said. “If they are running at a high occupancy at peak sea- son, then the opportunity for growth is not going to be during the time period when most people are choosing to be (on the Oregon Coast),” Aliski said. “There’s plenty of capac- ity to grow the industry, but maybe just not in the peak time of the year.” This view is in line with efforts already in motion by Travel Oregon and the Ore- gon Coast Visitors Association to focus marketing dollars on encouraging travelers to visit – and pay for a room – in the off-season. “Any substantial growth is going to come from the off-season,” Hinz said. Queen: 124th Regatta continues with parade Continued from Page 1A “This amazing commu- nity that has grown beside me, strengthening me, teach- ing me, has made me who I am,” Postlewait said. While Postlewait looks forward to meeting new peo- ple, she said she will miss the Regatta Court and the Asto- ria community next year. “It was a bittersweet moment,” she said of giv- ing up her crown. “I’m really going to miss all the time here, the connections and relationships.” The queen’s corona- tion signals the beginning of the 124th Astoria Regatta. The Regatta will continue with the Junior Parade in downtown Astoria at 6 p.m. tonight. The highlight is the Grand Land Parade down- Hannah Sievert/The Daily Astorian Catherine Tapales is crowned the 2018 Astoria Regatta queen. town at noon on Saturday. While Tapales is excited to get started, she plans on appreciating her year as queen. “I’m going to enjoy it as much as I can,” she said. “Hopefully it doesn’t go by too fast.” Graffiti: ‘I’m glad they covered it as quickly as they did’ Continued from Page 1A “Because this one was big and ugly and of course (because of) our upcoming project in the alley, we wanted to lend a hand,” said Sarah Lu Heath, executive director of the downtown association. Typically, property own- ers are responsible for deal- ing with graffiti, but the city responded because of the images and words used, said Jeff Harrington, the public works director. Rosie Samp, who owns Erickson Floral Co. with her husband, said their service door, which opens into the alley, had an obscene image painted on it when she arrived at work Wednesday morning. “I’m glad they covered it up as quickly as they did,” she said. The racial slur was the N-word. Samp said she saw a family of color walk down the alley, not long after city staff painted over the slur. “I wouldn’t have felt very wel- come if I were them and I saw that,” she said.
