The Billion-Dollar Outlier That’s Rescuing San Francisco Tourism

San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is undergoing major renovations, including a $2.6 billion overhaul of Terminal 3 and a $75 million upgrade to the International Terminal, while continuing to rebound from the pandemic with near pre-2020 passenger levels and record-setting international travel. SFO’s recovery has outpaced the broader city tourism industry by strategically attracting international passengers through expanded routes to Asia and Europe.
