More tourists visited Tennessee in 2024, according to the 2024 Economic Impact on Travel Report.
The 147 million that visited the state spent $31.7 billion, which brought in $3.3 billion in state tax revenue, according to the report compiled by Tourism Economics. The report defines a visitor as anyone who travels more than 50 miles to a destination or stayed overnight.
"Each household in Tennessee would need to be taxed an additional $1,170 to replace the direct visitor-generated taxes received by destination state and local governments in 2024," the report said.
