CONCORD, NC (May 7, 2019) – This week, the Cabarrus County Convention and Visitors Bureau invites you to join them and communities across the nation to celebrate National Travel & Tourism Week.
This annual tradition is a time to unite and celebrate the value travel holds for our economy, businesses and personal well-being. The theme for this year’s celebration is “Travel Matters.”
“From enhancing our quality of life to strengthening the local economy, the tourism industry has a powerful, positive impact on so many aspects of our community,” said Donna Carpenter, Cabarrus County CVB President and CEO. “Without the state and local taxes generated by visitors in Cabarrus County, each household would pay $489 more in taxes each year.”
The latest tourism impact statistics come from “The Economic Impact of Travel on North Carolina Counties 2017”—a study prepared for Visit North Carolina by the U.S. Travel Association. Highlights of the study specific to Cabarrus County include:
- Cabarrus County ranks 12th in travel impact among NC’s 100 counties
