Uneven recovery for businesses in the amusement and recreation subsector in 2021
Businesses in the amusement and recreation subsector were hit hard by COVID-19-related closures and restrictions in 2020. In 2021, amusement- and recreation-related businesses continued to experience operational challenges during successive waves of the pandemic. While this subsector had a 1.9% increase in operating revenue in 2021, the extent of the recovery varied across industries. Industries whose busiest season is in the summer or that can maintain outdoor operations fared better in 2021 than industries that are busier in the winter or whose operations are primarily indoors.
