Tuesday, May 21, 2024 Lima, Ohio is gearing up for a week-long celebration – National Travel and Tourism Week, happening May 19th through 25th! Visit Greater Lima, the area’s tourism champion, is at the forefront of the festivities, and here’s why you should join the party: Travel Fuels Our Community’s Engine: Tourism isn’t just about vacations; it’s a major economic driver. According to the U.S.

Travel Association, travel spending across the United States brought in a staggering $89 billion in state and local revenue in 2023. This translates to real dollars that fund vital services like top-notch education for our children, well-equipped emergency responders who keep us safe, and strong public safety measures that ensure a secure environment for everyone. Hoteliers are Our Unsung Heroes: A big, heartfelt “thank you” goes out to all the amazing hotel staff who go above and beyond to make visitors feel welcome.



They’re the friendly faces who bridge the gap between tourists and the hidden gems Lima and Allen County have to offer. They recommend must-see attractions, point out delicious local restaurants, and ensure a comfortable stay, leaving a lasting impression on visitors and encouraging them to return. Travel Benefits Everyone, Not Just Tourists: The travel industry’s impact extends far beyond hotels.

From bustling restaurants serving up delicious food to vibrant retail shops offering unique finds, tourism keeps our local economy thriving and growing. Tr.
