In this episode, Bill Campbell, CEO at Hospitality America, delivers the annual Hospitality and Tourism Industry Outlook. The tourism sector attracts millions of visitors each year, who are drawn by our beaches, our mountains, our cities, and yes, even our sports teams. The industry also fuels job creation and local business growth. Hotels, restaurants, resorts, and entertainment venues support countless families and generate substantial tax revenue.

The tourism industry contributes almost $30 billion annually to the state's economy, which ranks 8th in the country. Bill provides plenty of insight on where we are and where we're going.
