The cancellation of the BNP Paribas Open could have big ramifications for the tourism industry in Palm Springs and California's Coachella Valley.

And he said the BNP cancellation will be “pretty brutal” for hotels down valley, who rely on the tournament as a major part of their business. This time of year provides income for hotels and workers alike that gets them through the leaner summer months, he said.In Palm Springs alone, those two months drive the most transient occupancy tax revenue — the taxes on hotel rooms that are a large revenue stream for many valley cities, Dada said.

"We're open for business, and the hotels are here," he said."We've encouraged people to keep their vacations in place." As for the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals — set for three consecutive weekends starting April 10 — Tom Corley, the vice president of Front Row Insurance in Nashville, said that it is unlikely that any entertainers, who generally will take out insurance policies for liability, could get insurance reimbursement for a coronavirus-related cancellation.

The 2017 Coachella festival drew about 250,000 visitors to both weekends, plus another 75,000 people for the following week’s Stagecoach Country Music Festival. The combined 2017 regional economic impact exceeded $403 million, according to the 2017 report from the Greater Palm Springs Convention and Visitors Bureau.
