Cobb Travel & Tourism Unveils Latest Tourism Impact in Cobb County

In 2023, Cobb County's tourism industry continued to be a significant economic driver, with a $2.6 billion impact, marking an 8.3% growth from 2022. Local and state tax revenues from tourism rose by 8.6%, totaling $277 million. The sector supported 19,280 jobs, reflecting a 5.8% increase. Without the economic activity generated by tourism, each Cobb County household would face an additional tax burden of $780 annually, a 7.4% rise compared to the previous year. Holly Quinlan, president and CEO of Cobb Travel & Tourism, highlighted the county's distinct attractions and strong partnerships as pivotal to its tourism success, stating, "The hospitality and tourism community in Cobb County, which is made up of unique attractions, venues, and cities, is truly what makes it Atlanta’s sweet spot." These metrics underscore the robust growth and essential role of the tourism industry in Cobb County's economy.
