Study: Cape May County Sees A Drop In Week-Long Summer Stays

Stockton University’s School of Business hosted the fourth annual Jersey Shoreview which featured a discussion panel with regional business leaders. Cape May County generated $5.2 million in occupancy tax just in July 2023, a 17% increase from 2022 and outpaced pre-COVID 2019. County figures showed an 8% increase in overnight stays year over year, but tourists didn’t stay in the county as long, as 28% stayed seven days or longer, down from 39% in the past.
