CALIFORNIA TOURISM MONTH

In 2016, the California Legislature passed a bipartisan resolution declaring May as California Tourism Month, spotlighting tourism’s role as a key economic driver for the Golden State. Travel is ingrained in the state’s very identity, and its economic and cultural benefits are undeniable.

Visit California is sharing new economic impact numbers for the state and counties. In 2023, travel spending in the state reached an all-time high of $150.4 billion, surpassing the record $144.9 billion spent in 2019.
