The Woodlands Is The Place To Be!

New Figures Released on Economic Impact of Visitors to The Woodlands and according to The Woodlands Publication, The E- Neighbor, Officials with The Woodlands Convention & Visitors Bureau report visitors to The Woodlands in 2011 are on pace to pump more than $4 million into The Woodlands Township, another sign of the emergence of the area as a popular leisure getaway and meetings destination.

The Bureau also announced taxable sales in The Woodlands are expected to reach $1.56 billion in 2011, up $520 million since 2006.

Besides providing a clear indication of the continued growth of travel to the area particularly from vacationing families from nearby drive markets, the figures also are encouraging for The Woodlands Township which uses two-thirds of every sales tax and room tax dollar paid by visitors to retire debt service and reduce residential property tax requirements.

The new projections have been presented as the Bureau recognizes National Travel and Tourism Week, May 7 – 15, 2011, established in 1983 by a joint resolution passed by the U.S. Congress.
