Mark Stebbins, the principal of XSS Hotels, believes Portsmouth could see a “tsunami” of activity this summer.
As a growing number of people receive their COVID-19 vaccinations, Stebbins and others in the arts and hospitality industry believe Portsmouth could have a great comeback summer.
“The big thing is that many people are still not going to feel comfortable flying, so they’re going to get in their cars and go somewhere here,” Stebbins said during a recent interview at the fifth floor Rooftop at the Envio restaurant and bar in downtown Portsmouth. “I think that’s how it’s going to create this tsunami for Portsmouth.”’
