Mark Calitri: Owensboro Tourism Reaches a Record $262.9 Million
Owensboro
has a lot to celebrate.
The
latest tourism numbers show visitors generated a record $262.9 million
in economic impact for Daviess County. That means more business for our hotels,
restaurants, attractions, retail shops, and local businesses while supporting
more than 2,000 jobs and generating millions of dollars in state and local tax
revenue.
These
numbers don’t happen by accident. They happen because our community continues
to invest in great places, great events, and, most importantly, great people.
Every hotel employee, restaurant server, attraction, volunteer, event
organizer, and business owner plays a role in creating an experience visitors
remember.
To
celebrate this milestone, I’ve put together a short video highlighting the
momentum we’re seeing across Owensboro. I hope you’ll take a minute to watch it
and help us share the story.

Tourism
isn’t just about visitors. It’s about creating jobs, supporting local
businesses, strengthening our quality of life, and building a stronger
Owensboro for everyone.
Thank
you to everyone who helps make Owensboro a destination people want to visit.
Together, we’re proving that when our community works as one, great things
happen.

President & CEO, Visit Owensboro
