Even With Virus, Its National Tourism Week

May 5, 2020 by Jackson Hole Radio

This is National Travel and Tourism Week from May 3rd through the 9th. Tourism is the second largest industry in Wyoming, supporting over 32,000 jobs within the Cowboy State. Beyond the lure of the iconic national parks in Wyoming, Wyoming State Parks, Historic Sites and Trails boasts a visitation of more than 4.4 million visitors while generating a projected economic impact of nearly $500 million to the state during 2019. Governor Mark Gordon signed a proclamation Monday morning declaring this the week of National Travel and Tourism Week. During the formal signing Governor Gordon stated, “I want to express my deepest gratitude for the patience of those businesses dependent on this industry, which has been severely disrupted worldwide by COVID-19.” Gordon says he looks forward to Wyoming resuming its place as a premier destination for both U.S. and international visitors when it is safe to do so.
