There are so many interesting places people don’t know
The area is gentrified, many galleries have to close and move to other places because the rent in this area is too high
What The Gem Hotel Chelsea can do is to help strengthen the connection between local communities and the tourism industry
Hotel will give customers coupons and they can go to chelsea market to fill their picnic baskets
Hotel can also provide customers some classic picnic choices like sushi&seafood basket, traditional american basket, dessert basket and cheese and wine basket
Sometimes people don’t want to go to the galleries, because the artworks usually so expensive and too abstruct to understand. In this market, people will find affordable arts, and chatting with sellers in person, collect good stories, eating and listening to live music, enjoy their time. This activity can bring tourists and local community closer, promote the area and at the same time benefit the community
