The astronomical event is anticipated to be the most profitable event in Texas's history
The April 8 solar eclipse is expected to lure some 4 million people to the dozen-plus U.S. states that lie in the path of totality for the celestial event.
Areas in path of totality from south Texas to northern Maine are well-positioned to reap the financial benefits of enthusiasts chasing the total solar eclipse.
For those hoping to catch a glimpse of the total solar eclipse in April, there’s no shortage of options. Six Flags Over Texas is hosting a “Solar Coaster” viewing party.
The total solar eclipse, which will be visible from more than a dozen states, is fueling a small spending boom across the nation. Hotels are booked, campgrounds are full and rental cars are nowhere to be found around the April 8 event. States including Arkansas and Indiana are expecting record-breaking travel and spending.
