The introduction of the Atlantic bubble is a step in the right direction for the hospitality industry, industry players say, although they warn the lift may not be as large as some think.

"It's still very early in the game, but if I was to extrapolate out forward what it would mean for us, I don't think it's going to be a huge thing," said John Steele, who runs Steele Hotels and operates seven inns across the province.

"It'll probably mean more Newfoundlanders leaving, going to parts of the Maritimes as opposed to a bunch of Maritimers coming to Newfoundland … but I don't believe it's going to result in saving the summer or anything like that."

The Atlantic bubble was announced Wednesday, and will take effect July 3.
