Tourism and hospitality is one of the largest industries in the region. The money visitors spend supports local businesses, creates jobs, and generates taxes, helping to build quality of life in Philadelphia. PIDC is proud to be a supporter of many Philadelphia-based businesses and we have curated a few to celebrate the city’s staple in the tourism and hospitality industry, especially in the busy time of summer travel. Here is a list of a few PIDC clients worth visiting, categorized by where to stay and where to play.
