Episode notes

Halloween towns, haunted hotels and spooky castles are a huge draw for visitors seeking out chilling experiences, haunted happenings and family festivities.

They aren’t the only destination that’s cancelling their Halloween celebrations with reports of destinations, theme parks and attractions across the world cancelling Halloween parades, events and shows.

Despite the frustration of cancelled events, destinations are working hard to ensure that future events take place and to ensure the growth of Halloween tourism.
