Visitor spending drives taxes. Many of those dollars are used to improve the quality of life for residents in the community. If it weren't for these visitors, many communities wouldn't be able to support the museums, theaters, sports venues, etc. that their residents enjoy. Nat. Restaurant Assn. says that 40% plus diners are not local. International visitors outspend domestic visitors 6-1. The US is the only developed country that doesn't spend a dime promoting itself.
