WHAT'S THE IMPACT OF TOURISM IN LOS ANGELES?

• L.A. County’s tourism industry is one of the area’s largest and strongest economic sectors, supporting nearly half a million jobs. Visitors to Los Angeles injected $20.6 billion into the local economy in 2015, while hotel visitors generated $235 million in transient-occupancy tax collections for the City of Los Angeles. These funds are used for vital public services like police and fire departments, road and bridge construction.
