2024 Tourism Statistics for Washington County

In 2016, the Indiana Office of Tourism Development (now part of the Indiana Destination Development Corporation) partnered with Tourism Tomorrow to create a research group that could conduct county-level tourism studies. This group brings together top tourism and economic experts to ensure consistent research methods and best practices across Indiana. The 2024 Economic Impact Study of Tourism in Washington County was carried out by Rockport Analytics, an independent research firm.

For every dollar spent by Washington County visitors in 2024, 44 cents 'stayed' local and contributed directly to the gross county product of Washington County.

The study used data on Indiana visitor spending derived from multiple sources including Longwoods International, Reach Market Planning, and the U.S. Commerce Department's National Travel and Tourism Office. It was then reconciled with Bureau of Labor Statistics reported employment data, Indiana Department of Revenue reported tax receipts, and secondary sources such as Smith Travel Research.
