Economic Impacts of Tourism

 

Businesses and public organizations need to become interested in the economic impacts that tourism can create. Tourism should be the  "multiplier effector" in a wide sector of the community. Community support is equally as  important for tourism as is the Director of the Visitor Bureau. Businesses should benefit from tourism, and a better understanding of the role and importance of Visitor Bureau is needed. Every business owner should regularly attend Visitor Bureau meetings because shaping the vision of this organization will have a direct correlation to your bottom line. Understanding the importance of tourism and how it contributes to our local economy is vital. Actions of the tourism bureau will have significant economic consequences for every local business which will forever alter the quality of life. At the risk of oversimplifying this complex topic, again I highly recommend every business owner should regularly attend the Visitor Bureau monthly meeting.
