In St. Tammany Parish, visitors spent nearly $1.3 billion last year.
That spending directly supported over 13,900 local jobs, helping families right here on the Northshore. And here’s another reason it matters to YOU: tourism generated $127 million in state and local taxes last year, which means every household in St. Tammany saved $1,345 in taxes. Without visitors, citizens would all be paying more to maintain the services we need.
This National Travel and Tourism Week, Visit the Northshore says they are especially thankful for their amazing partners—hotels, restaurants, attractions, and local businesses—that make visitors feel at home and keep the local economy strong.
