Скачать или смотреть The Heart & Soul of Austin's Local Hospitality Community

The travel and tourism industry employs more than 125,000 Austinites - the 3rd largest industry in the city. The true impact of our local hospitality community is felt not only in economic impact figures, but in the real stories of local business owners, tourism employees, and musicians who are the heart and soul of our industry.

Did you know…
• Without the travel, convention and tourism industry, Travis County residents would have to pay an additional $1,080 per household in state and local taxes to maintain current levels of service.

• The yearly tax revenue for the City of Austin from tourism alone has reached $33-$38 million, which goes directly to the city's general fund to help pay for projects throughout the city (helping to offset possible increases to property taxes).
