Tourism Revenue, per Resident

What does this measure?

The amount of money (in 2022 dollars) spent by visitors while in the region. This includes recreation, hotel bookings, fuel purchases, and other visitor expenditures.

Why is this important?

Tourism brings external money into a region's economy, fueling the development of new industry and attractions. The sense that a region is a tourist destination also increases regional pride.

How is the region performing?

Visitors to the Mid-Hudson Valley contributed over $4.2 billion to the region's economy in 2022, or $3,654 per resident. Statewide (excluding NYC), the figure was $2,789 per resident. Mid-Hudson Valley's per-resident tourism revenue rate in 2022 was up 63% from 2010. Per-resident revenue fell in 2020, which saw a 37% decline from the prior year, likely due to COVID. Recovering from the pandemic, tourism revenue grew by 54% in 2021 and another 10% in 2022, to reach a new high.

Among individual counties, Sullivan had the highest per-person revenue from tourism in 2022, at $11,203, followed by Greene at $5,893 and Ulster at $5,368. Putnam, at $791 per person, had the lowest tourism revenue rate in the region.

Notes about the data

The figures are presented per county resident to allow comparisons among counties of different sizes, but the spending is by tourists. New York State data excludes the heavy concentration of tourism in New York City. Due to a break in series for Orange County in 2018, Orange County is not comparable to prior years. Data for this indicator are expected to be released in the third quarter.
