Economic Value of Tourism

Santa Monica tourism growth has achieved record setting numbers recently, and that's good for Santa Monica locals: thousands of our jobs and our schools, parks, libraries and public safety are all supported by revenue from tourism.

Economic Value of Tourism

The Santa Monica Convention & Visitors Bureau has been conducting visitor profile and economic impact studies triennially since 1983. This research is meant to assess the economic value that tourism affords Santa Monica as a destination city.

Because so many Santa Monica jobs are supported by tourism, the more visitors exploring our city, the better. And with all that Santa Monica has to offer, it’s not surprising that international and domestic visitors keep on coming.
