Eclipse tourism brings economic boost to these small towns

Season 2024 Episode 99 | 5m 13s

On Monday, April 8, the moon will slip between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow that will cut across North America in a 115-mile-wide path. Communities along that path hope it will be a bright spot for hotels, restaurants and gas stations as people flock to them for this rare event. Communities reporter Adam Kemp joins John Yang to discuss how Oklahoma is preparing for eclipse tourists.
