The study also reportedly showed tourism supports 11,666 jobs in Warren County, or approximately 10.4 percent of its total private employment. Those jobs generated an estimated $285 million in wages and $148.8 million in federal, state, and local taxes in 2017.
“Tourism has been Warren County’s number one industry for quite some time now, and its impact is only continuing to grow year after year. We’re very fortunate to have a terrific array of tourist-friendly attractions, restaurants, shops and hotels in our region, and those attractions and the visitors they draw benefit us all in many ways,” Phillip S.
