The Power of Partnership

Tourism is a billion dollar industry for Dane County. The economic benefit that visitors bring to our area translates into a healthy economy that affects resident income, job creation and continued enhancement of the quality of life we all enjoy. A few facts:

• On average, 14 million people visit Dane County every year

• These visitors spend approximately $1.7 billion in new money at hotels, restaurants and retailers plus recreation and transportation

• This spending supports 19 million full-time equivalent jobs in Dane County

As a partner, you'll have the opportunity to be the first in line to welcome these visitors—and their dollars—to our community. Learn more about the benefits of becoming a partner.
