Tourism in Memphis is slowly starting to increase after taking a big hit during the spring, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “We just thought we were going to have the year of years, and then [COVID-19] hit,” said Kevin Kane, president of Memphis Tourism. In January, Memphis was off to a great start and the city was coming off a record breaking year in tourism. Things came to a halt in March and April because of the pandemic, but Memphis Tourism President Kevin Kane said they began to see a positive change in May — when attractions began opening again.
