Reopening date confirmed for Cassiobury paddling pools
The Everyone Active-managed site has been shut since April 21, having opened for two weeks during the school holidays.
Watford Borough Council has confirmed that the pools will be open to the public again from Saturday, May 24 - and will remain in use until September.
In a social media post, the council explained that this seasonal schedule is based on the usage of the pools in recent years and is aimed at "making sure they're open when families enjoy them most".

A 50/50 entry split has been reintroduced, meaning here will be 135 places per session available by the booking app (everyoneactive.com/centre/cassiobury-park-paddling-pools) and 135 walk-in spaces offered on a first come, first served basis each session.
Session times have also been increased, with each one now lasting 90 minutes.
The Cassiobury paddling pools, managed on behalf of WBC, welcomed 53,000 people last year along – highlighting its appeal as a top family destination, the council has said.
Nestled within 190 acres of beautiful parkland, they boast three splashpads, exciting water jets, and fountains for children to enjoy during the warmer months.

Overseas travel to US continues to tumble as Trump imposes travel bans, tariffs
Travel to the US tumbled 3.1% in July — the latest in a slew of monthly declines as the Trump administration imposes strict curbs on travel and pursues tough negotiations on trade. The most recent drop was fueled by a steep pullback from Germany, China and Switzerland, which were down 14.7%, 13.8% and 12.7% respectively, according to the National Travel and Tourism Office, a government agency that works with the Department of Homeland Security and US Customs and Border Protection. Overseas travel to the US has been declining this year, down 3.1% in July, according to government data. Getty Images Advertisement The latest data does not include travel from Canada and Mexico, the two largest feeder markets to the US, but lately both have seen steep drops. Canadians in particular have been canceling trips to the US, offended by President Trump's suggestion that they be annexed to the US as the 51st state. In June, flights from Canada were down 22% and car crossings were down 33%, according to a report by travel trade publication Skift. Advertisement April represents the only exception to the downward trend, possibly because Easter fell in April instead of March. Overseas visitors increased 0.4% in April, but have been down since then. Among the top 20 countries, six increased their travel to the US in July, including Japan by 9.1%, Dominican Republic, by 7.3%, Spain by 6.7% Italy, by 6.3%, Israel by 6.1% and Ireland up by 2.9%, according to NTTO. Spending on promoting the US as a destination was decimated after the the 'Big Beautiful Bill' was passed in April. Brand USA, which promotes travel to the US, lost 80% of its federal funds. Stephen Yang Advertisement Brand USA, a public-private partnership that promotes travel here, saw its federal funds cut by 80% this year. International travelers are especially coveted because they spend more and stay longer. Every 40 international visit supports one US job, according to NTTO. Last week, the largest hotel company in the world, Marriott International, cut its full year forecast for revenue and profits on slowing travel demand for its properties in the US.

After another record year at the MassMutual Center, Springfield's convention promoters look forward to more visitors
SPRINGFIELD — Rental and catering revenue at the MassMutual Convention Center increased by 17.7% year-over-year, the third straight year of growth, the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority said Thursday. Total food and beverage revenue at the center also hit a new high in the fiscal year that ended in June, up more than 9% from the previous year, the authority said in a news release without giving dollar figures for either. The convention center — not counting the arena — alone hosted more than 100 events and more than 100,000 attendees, according to the release. The regional economic impact was an estimated $56.7 million, including both the Convention Center and Arena. The arena is home of the American Hockey League's Springfield Thunderbirds. Growth is a sign that not only is the convention business recovering from a post-COVID doldrums but that meeting planners are choosing Springfield, said Alicia Szenda, vice president of sales for the Greater Springfield Convention and Visitors Bureau. COVID shut down conventions for years. Then, meeting organizers and convention bureaus spent the next few years rebooking those canceled conventions, scheduling them after the interruption so as not to lose the business. 'We are not 100% beyond that, but we are close,' Szenda said. Mary Kay Wydra, president of the Greater Springfield Convention and Visitors Bureau, said conventions have changed. There are shorter stays with fewer visitors. Budgets are tighter. Greater Springfield has been successful at drawing events, she said. That includes the 2025 Massachusetts Governor's Conference on Travel and Tourism back in March. The conference — focused this year on events and sites associated with the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution — was a chance for the Pioneer Valley to show off for tourism professionals across the state. And in the coming weeks, the MassMutual Center is set to host a toy show geared to retailers, a trade show for locksmiths and a military reunion. Fall is normally a busy time of year. The convention center and arena still bear the name of insurance giant MassMutual under an agreement that expired in 2023. But the Convention Center Authority has said it is in the process of selecting a new naming rights sponsor. The new $80 million replacement Civic Center Carpark opened this spring.
