2 The Connecticut Tourism Economy ~ An Overview 118,500 jobs supported by tourism in Connecticut $1.6 billion in tax revenue Traveler spending of $8.3 billion generated economic impact of $14.0 billion in 2013 as traveler dollars flowed into Connecticut All business sectors of the Connecticut economy benefit from tourism actively directly and/or indirectly. Tourism powers our state in many undeniable ways The Connecticut Tourism Coalition is comprised of various association and industry supporting organizations whose main goal is to affect change in the Connecticut tourism industry by addressing key legislative, regulatory and budgeting issues through public education. Our intent is to use our collective strength to create one powerful, inclusive, and coordinated Tourism Advocacy Organization. 2

4 March 16, 2017 HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) Today, Governor Malloy and the Connecticut Office of Tourism announced the results of an economic impact study which showed how the travel industry has positively impacted Connecticut s economy over the past five years. According to this study, the total direct and indirect business sales supported by the travel industry reached $14.7 billion in 2015 which is a 4.6 percent increase since The study also showed that tourism employment grew 2 percent since 2013 to reach a total of 82,688 jobs in Governor Malloy further highlights how Connecticut s economy has benefited from tourism. The tourism sector is one of the major drivers of Connecticut s economy. It creates jobs, highlights the fantastic array of cultural and entertainment venues in the state, and contributes to our high quality of life. Based on the result of this analysis, there can be no doubt that our strategic investment in tourism is fueling economic growth. Connecticut s developing tourism marketing efforts have focused on displaying Connecticut as a travel destination while also driving visitors to attractions in all parts of the state. A critical part of this effort to increase Connecticut s tourism visibility is the website, CTvisit.com, which attracted 4.2 million visits in The Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner, Catherine Smith, explains why investment in touristic marketing is so important. Governor Malloy s investments in tourism have resulted in major returns in jobs and economic growth, but in order to protect and expand on these gains, we need to continue to invest in tourism. We believe the most important role the state can play is to invest in out-of-state advertising to promote all there is to see and do in Connecticut. Other findings from the study showed that direct traveler spending totaled $8.7 billion in 2015 and travel generated $1.7 billion in tax revenues. This economic impact study was conducted by Tourism Economics. 4

11 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU STOP INVESTING IN TOURISM? 11
12 What happens when you cut tourism budgets? In 1992 Colorado became the only state to completely eliminate funding for tourism promotion. They went from a budget of $12 million annually to Zero. The results were catastrophic. Within two years the tourist spending annually was at a loss of almost $2 billion. In the summer resort segment, Colorado dropped from first place nationally to 17 th. Both the tourism industry and taxpayers across the state were losers. Learning from this lesson, Colorado restored funding for tourism and although it took several years they are back to an excellent return on investment. $2,000,000,000 2 Billion Loss in Spending 1 st Place in Summer Tourism 17th Place in Summer Tourism 12
13 May 2012 Governor-Commissioned Study by the Leader in International Tourism Economics Unlike virtually all other government-funded programs, tourism is a revenue generator, not a cost to taxpayers. Our findings demonstrate clearly that continued support of tourism marketing is a wise course from a public policy perspective. 6.5% of CT Workforce livelihood derived from TOURISM $11.5 billion in sales attributable to TOURISM The State Receives Significantly more in taxes for each dollar invested in TOURISM, therefore we have a compelling public policy case for funding Tourism Marketing 13
14 2017 Update to the 2012 Study by Longwood International Investing in tourism marketing attracts visitors who spend while they re here. Taxes collected on what they spend adds up quickly, to far more than what it costs to attract them. While many experts have estimated the rate of return, All of them calculate returns of at least 3:1. And that's just counting tax returns, not including the significantly larger multiples that experts say is the full economic impact of visitors spending. 14

17 Every $1 Invested in Tourism Marketing Returns at least $3 in Tax Revenue. Would you turn down that investment in Your Business? 17
