THE BEST IS YET TO COME

Tourism truly works for Hamilton County, attracting about 6 million visitors a year who spend almost $1 billion in our county alone, not to mention the significant regional economic impact.

But the BEST is yet to come.

The year 2023 will truly be a transformational one as Hamilton County Tourism wraps up the Business of Sport, Entertainment & Tourism (BEST) Study and seeks to develop an innovative capital improvement fund to support ideas that generate gathering spots for visitors to enjoy sports and entertainment.

This study and fund will explore how to develop sustainable products that will continue to make Hamilton County a great place to live, invest in and visit. It will help us better understand how to create more diversity in our hospitality workforce and will serve as a catalyst for implementation of big ideas that work.

Watch for more information to come about implementation for the BEST ideas in 2024 and engage in any community conversations you see offered to keep up with what is one of Indiana’s most vibrant and rapidly growing tourism economies.

It’s important to close with a note that YOU are what is best about Hamilton County.

Your leadership, contributions to the industry and support are what make tourism thrive here.
