Title The State of Utah's travel and tourism industry, 2023
Date 2023
Description Visitors spent a record $10.56 billion in Utah's economy in 2021, generating 130,600 total jobs and a record $1.81 billion in total state and local tax revenue. Utah ski resort visitation (5.8 million) was at an all-time high during the 2021-2022 season, while 2022 national park visitation (10.5 million) was down an estimated 6.7% from 2021. Park visitation softening in 2022 was due to a variety of economic and geopolitical forces, including high gas prices, a strong U.S. Dollar, and the war in Ukraine. Overall, Utah's travel and tourism spending, air travel, ski and park visitation, and tax revenue have returned to-if not surpassed-baseline 2019 levels.
